A 15 year-old boy claims to be the world’s youngest ‘cyborg’ after implanting a microchip into his hand. Byron Wake, of Martock, Somerset, used a hypodermic needle to implant the device. The transponder, which is the size of a grain of rice, works by using NFC which emits a low power radio-frequency signature that triggers pre-programmed events. Since implanting the microchip, Wake has used it to unlock his phone and control its...
