A report produced by TalkTalk has found more than two-thirds of the British working population would refuse to be microchipped to improve efficiency if asked to by their employer. After interviewing more than 2,000 working adults, the TalkTalk Business’s Future of Work Survey revealed that almost half (47 per cent) said they were “very concerned” about being able to opt out from having a chip implanted in them at work. Employers who are bought in will understandably explain the benefits of these implants, but Robinson stresses that they ought to also say explain the negatives. Older millennials (between 25 and 34) were found to be more open to the technology being tested on them. About 5% of workers would consider being chipped if they were paid more.
