It was a deliberate hoax: http://www.idchip.com/s1/experiment/whatis.htm What is the "IDchip Experiment"? The IDchip experiment was the embodiment of millennial angst as I saw it. Furthermore, I could not restrain myself from making it as much a humor site as anything else. The IDchip Experiment site was so loaded with end-times, conspiracy and mark of the beast references that I thought there was no way anyone would actually take it seriously, and more so when you consider how low-tech was the webdesign and how cursorily the chip and the company were described.. In light of the fact that some did apply, the IDchip experiment (though conducted more like an art project than a scientific one) inadvertently became a study of the concerns of privacy advocates in regard to the public's willingness to sell their privacy up the river to a weirdo idea. To learn more about the subject matter, click on "Show me the IDchip website" on the previous page. I am not a person who is expecting the book of Revelations to be fulfilled, but this experiment has demonstrated to me that it is much more plausible than I had previously thought (at least the part about the mark of the beast anyway.) I'm glad we have paranoid privacy advocates. (although, ironically, they were the ones trying the hardest to pry into my private accounts to discover my identity). I regret that many people were put off by this project, but like so many others, if they had just studied it closer they would have realized that it was a spoof. The real cause of their agitation is not this project, but rather their unwillingness to observe carefully. ============== Q.E.D. ================================= Robert F.
