The concept of having memory slots and computer chips inserted into the human body for any reason has both pros and cons. Depending on the purpose for which the devices are being used, the concept can raise major debating as to it's humaneness and practicality.
An example of this is the concept of having chips inserted into our wrists to save our personal information and bank details/money (as discussed in the tutorial). Personally, i think the idea is plausible and with major reviewing of the functions, wallets, birth certificates, credit cards, passports and cash etc could become completely outdated and replaced with the chip.
The opposing and still plausible ideas abound the health, safety and humaneness of the concept. The biggest point of conflict was the possibility of identity theft. As all of our details would most likely be saved in data bases, this makes it a possibility for hackers to steal our information. Especially with the likelihood of all of our information saved in the one place, identity theft is made that much easier.
Another opposing idea is the in-humaneness of having a mechanical object inserted into our bodies. Although people get facial piercings, tattoos and other body modifications, most people would still consider this concept strange and foreign.
Regardless of the debatable ideologies, human computer chips are already being manufactured and used for multiple reasons. Click here for here 10 links to different stories about human computer chips, ranging from 2002-2010.
