Abstract:
Microchips are used for many years for different purposes. Nevertheless,
recently applications of radio frequency identification technology have been
progressed tremendously with the potential to permeate throughout society as
valuable tool for enabling automatic identification and management. However,
they are perceived as threats at several levels that impede its implementation.
Most of the research discusses the adoption of Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) devices from the provider’s point of view. Thus, it would be of interest
to examine the factors of RFID subcutaneous microchip (RFID-SM) usage,
adoption and diffusion by individuals from various perspectives, particularly
in developing countries. Knowledge upon the factors that drive RFID adop-
tion is a crucial step in creating the policies required for its successful imple-
mentation. This quantitative, descriptive study investigated whether young
people in Serbia would be willing to use subcutaneous microchip. Preliminary
findings indicate that positive attitudes prevail for the perceived usefulness
and ease of use, while suspicions of confidentiality and privacy are strong,
and what is most surprising none of the respondents showed willingness to
use microchip implants for everyday home activities. Since the process of
individual users’ acceptance of technology is very complex, the full range of
variables should be investigated from broader perspective.
