Scary stuff eh! I don't understand the problem with these imbedded chips (pacemakers yet!). How are they programmed with a date when manufactured. If they are programmed, there would also need to be a battery to save the date during a power failure. Why would a pacemaker need to be programmed with a date and a clock? I feel confident that computers will work, while some applications will need to be fixed, but I do not understand why all these imbedded chips might fail. Can you shed any light?
