Abstract

This paper explores the work of Professor Kevin Warwick, a researcher in the Department of Cybernetics at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, who has played a major role in propelling the science of humancentric chip implantation. On the 24th of August 1998, just over a decade ago, Professor Warwick became the first man to officially implant a radio-frequency identification (RFID) transponder under his skin. This paper explores Warwick's achievements, motivations, and chipping experience, offering a unique insight into the ethical dilemmas and controversy surrounding implantable devices for identification purposes, interactive environments and the potential for location-based services. The authors employed a qualitative research strategy. A case study of Professor Kevin Warwick and his research endeavors are presented in a narrative form. The study used three approaches to collect data for the case study- (i) an email questionnaire, (ii) a primary interview, and (iii) secondary documentary sources about Warwick. The data itself is analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The outcome of the research is a contextual account of Warwick's motivations towards the scientific study of implantable computing for the sake of medical progress; one of the approaches which (at least in this instance) underpins chip implant research for human benefit.
定位和互动服务不仅在你的指尖,而且在你的皮肤下
本文探讨了凯文·沃里克教授的工作,他是英国雷丁大学控制论系的研究员,他在推动以人为中心的芯片植入科学方面发挥了重要作用。1998年8月24日,也就是十多年前,沃里克教授成为第一个在皮肤下正式植入射频识别(RFID)应答器的人。本文探讨了Warwick的成就、动机和芯片经验,为识别目的、交互式环境和基于位置的服务的潜力的植入式设备的伦理困境和争议提供了独特的见解。作者采用了定性研究策略。凯文·沃里克教授的个案研究和他的研究努力以叙述的形式呈现。该研究使用了三种方法来收集案例研究的数据- (i)电子邮件问卷,(ii)主要访谈和(iii)关于华威大学的二手文献来源。数据本身使用定性内容分析进行分析。这项研究的结果是沃里克为了医学进步而对植入式计算进行科学研究的动机的背景说明;其中一种方法(至少在这种情况下)支持芯片植入研究以造福人类。
