A company in Wisconsin claims to be on the cutting edge of new technology will be the first in the nation to implant microchips in its employees.  Three Square Marketing, which is a vending machine business, said the chip, which is about as big a grain of rice, will be implanted under the skin between the thumb and forefinger.

The chip enable employees to pay for snacks in the company break room, serve as an electronic key to get into the building and to log on to their individual computers.
