Current example:

"The practice of embedding miniscule chips into things is also becoming more commonplace. RFID chips are getting cheaper and cheaper to produce, which means more and more companies will be using them. Think what the world would be like if the tiny ids were embedded in money or even a human being. Scary thoughts, eh?" 

Yes, it is a scary thought, and I believe that this was prophecied approximately 2000 years ago: 

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name" (Revelation 13:16-17).
