Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV.

Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted in their hands. Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands.Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free.Each chip costs $300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip.Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands.About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so.The president of the company,his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands.

The chip is about the size of a grain of rice.Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly.The chips go under the skin between the thumb and forefinger.With a chip in the hand,a person can enter the office building,buy food,sign into computers and more,simply by waving that hand near a scanner.The chips will he also used to identify employees.Employees who want convenience,but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin,can wear a wristband（腕带）or a ring with a chip instead.They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip.

Three Square Market is the first company in the United Slates to offer to implant chips in its employees.Epicenter,a company in Sweden,has been implanting chips in its employees for a while.

Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees.The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them.“The chips protect against identity theft,similar to credit cards.”The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the chips back in 2004,so they should be safe for humans,according to the company.

In the future,people with the chips may be able to do more with them,even outside the office.Todd Westby is Chief Executive officer of Three Square Market.He says,“Eventually,this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport,public transit,all purchasing opportunities,etc.”

技术提供了便利，比如从车上打开车库门，或者在不接触电视的情况下更换电视台。

现在，一家美国公司为员工提供了一种新的便利：一种植入他们手中的微芯片。拥有这些芯片的员工只需挥手就可以做各种事情。Three Square Market提供免费为所有员工植入微芯片。每个芯片的价格为300美元，Three Square Market将支付该芯片的费用。员工可以自愿将芯片植入他们的手中。80名员工中约有50人选择了这样做。公司总裁、他的妻子和他们的孩子也在手上植入芯片。

这个芯片大约有一粒米那么大。植入芯片只需要大约一秒钟，据说只会造成很短的伤害。筹码在拇指和食指之间的皮肤下面。只要手里拿着芯片，一个人只需在扫描仪附近挥手，就可以进入办公楼、购买食物、在电脑上签名等等。这些芯片还将用于识别员工身份。想要方便，但又不想在皮肤下植入微芯片的员工可以戴上腕带(腕带）或者是一个带芯片的戒指。他们只需挥手就可以完成同样的任务，就像他们植入了芯片一样。

Three Square Market是美国第一家向员工植入芯片的公司。瑞典的Epicenter公司已经在员工身上植入芯片一段时间了。

Three Square Market表示，该芯片无法追踪员工。该公司表示，扫描仪只有在距离芯片几英寸以内的时候才能读取芯片。“这些芯片可以防止身份盗窃，类似于信用卡。”该公司表示，美国食品和药物管理局早在2004年就批准了这些芯片，因此它们对人类来说应该是安全的。

在未来，拥有芯片的人可能能够用它们做更多的事情，甚至在办公室之外。Todd Westby是Three Square Market的首席执行官。他说：“最终，这项技术将变得标准化，让你可以将其用作护照、公共交通、所有购买机会等。”
