Doctor and innovator Alexandr Volchek implanted six chips underneath his own skin in order to turn his body into a multi-functional gadget. Tech-savvy Volchek can now open doors and pay bills with the flick of his wrist. The first chip was inserted in 2014 as a pass card for a Siberian ski resort. Volchek also has two chips to enter his office, one transport chip and two memory cards, which store information such as medical records and website passwords. The chips are implanted with a thick syringe, but are not permanent and can be easily extracted from the body.
