Women in Dubai are flocking to salons to receive “microchip manicures” where tiny microchips that act as digital ID’s are planted on a customer’s fingernail, with the chip eventually intended to be used for contactless payments and digital menus.

“Some of us already feel that our smartphones have become an extension of ourselves. Today’s external devices—from wearable computers to virtual reality headsets—will almost certainly become implantable in our bodies and brains,” wrote the World Economic Forum founder.
