Another Newscast Promoting The Implantable Microchip

Video Transcript:

It happens in seconds, moms and dads, you know that feeling. Your child gets lost in the store, maybe just wanders off for a second or two. Your heart stops though. Panic sets in and you think the worst is for. But what if you had a secret weapon, an extra layer of safety, so to speak? How far would you go to keep your children secure? Would you be willing to microchip them? Brain or... This is right here, Central Florida. What was that? Watch the flashing lights. There's no step that's too extreme. Stephanie's teenage daughter is a special needs child, prone to wander off and trust strangers. For that very reason, Stephanie wholeheartedly welcomes, microchip in, a child. If a small chip the size of a grain of rice could have prevented a tragedy, I think most parents, you know, hindsight would have said I wish I would have done it. But Stephanie is in the minority in her 10th of they moms group, where other mothers call this to sci-fi and invasive. You're putting a battery in your kid, you're putting a chip in your kid, and where does it stop? Turns out the technology to microchip your kids has existed since the early 90s, but hasn't really caught on. What? Is it a little too science fiction for you? Very much so. A well-known technology expert out of Boston tells us, microchipping poses little to no health risks and would act as a barcode of sorts. Without question, it could save a life, reunite a family, find a missing Alzheimer's patient. I always tell people as long as you're doing what you feel is best for your child, you're not really wrong. And guys, this is what we're talking about, the microchip. I don't know if you can see it. She shows us the size of a grain of rice and obviously a little smaller than her nails. That's all I'll say there. Go on. Sorry. I couldn't help myself. My hand is the size of a grain of rice, very, very small. And the expert that we spoke with actually tells us that barcodes were introduced in the late 1960s. And back then people thought, this is way too invasive and too weird. And now barcodes are so commonplace that we don't even think about them anymore. The expert tells us this will happen sooner rather than later. Let me say it again. This will happen sooner rather than later. One more time. The expert tells us this will happen sooner rather than later. Well, and now you said the technology has been around since the 90s or whatever, but I mean, have companies actually tried this. That's a different scenario. Two of them, two of them as a matter of fact, both of those companies ended up going defunct. They tried initial public offerings. It did not go through. But you can bet somewhere someday someone is going to pull this off. And we can see those microchips in everyone. Man, Center, sting the think about it. That's somewhere someday someone is going to pull this off. And we can see those microchips in everyone. Man, Center, sting the think about Melody, Michael, live, and Tampa. Thank you for that report.
