澳洲一女子雙手植入微型芯片 開門不用鑰匙

In a glimpse of what the future may hold, tiny microchips are being implanted in humans so they can unlock doors and get into their computers without using keys or passwords.

爲了一瞥未來生活的模樣，人們正在嘗試往身體裏植入微型芯片，以實現無鑰匙開門鎖、免密碼開電腦。

Sydney woman Shanti Korporaal has had two implants inserted in her hands which she now uses like she has superhuman powers, the Adelaide Advertiser reports.

據Adelaide Advertiser報道，來自悉尼的女子Shanti Korporaal在雙手裏植入了兩枚微型芯片，利用這兩枚芯片，她可以像個超人一樣使用她的“超能力”。

Her goal now is to completely do away with her wallet and cards so that she can lead a futuristic lifestyle, and the sky's the limit as to what can be done next.

她現在的目標是徹底淘汰掉她的錢包和各類卡片，過上未來式的生活 。對於接下來的改造計劃，她表示沒有上限。

'You could set up your life so you never have to worry about any password or PINs',' she said. It's the same technology as Paypass, so I'm hoping you'll be able to pay for things with it.'

“你可以安排好你的生活，再也不用擔心生活中的密碼問題。”她說道。“這種芯片和非接觸式信用卡用的是同一種技術，所以我希望你也能夠用它來買東西。”

'With Opal you get a unique identification number that could be programmed into the chip. Any door with a swipe card... it could open your computer, photocopier. Loyalty cards for shops are just another thing for your wallet.'

“Opal會給你提供一個可以編入芯片程序的唯一個人標識碼。它可以用來代替門卡開門，免密使用電腦、複印機。商店會員卡這些東西只會成爲你錢包裏的又一個累贅。”

The implant is almost impossible to spot as it is just the size of a grain of rice. The microchips can be used in the same way as a smartphone and store complex data.

植入的微型芯片只有一粒飯粒大小，幾乎無法察覺。它還可以代替智能手機工作並存儲複雜的數據。

Ms Korporaal has even set up a distribution service for the implants with her husband, Skeeve Stevens, called Chip My Life in what is a niche market.

Korporaal女士甚至給她的丈夫Skeeve Stevens安裝了一臺“分機”，這項服務叫做Chip My Life，目前還處於小衆市場。

However, although it is a niche market at the moment it is gaining interest as a firm in Sweden proved when it gave its employees the choice of having chips implanted instead of a work pass - more than 400 took up the offer.

儘管目前這項服務還較爲小衆化，但瑞典的一家公司正在從中得益：這家公司給員工提供用於代替工作證的微型芯片，讓員工自願選擇是否植入，已經有400多名員工接受了這項服務。

She said that with technology continually improving films like the Terminator and Matrix were no longer so far-fetched and the idea of 'super-humans' was now a real possibility.

Korporaal女士認爲隨着科技的不斷進步，電影《終結者》和《黑客帝國》中的黑科技已非遙不可及，過去種種對“超級人類”的幻想已經有了實現的可能。
