Next-gen passport will contain GPS chip, heart rate monitor, medical data, bank accounts data and everything else it can contain. The next thing they think of will be how to make you work 8 hours daily without thinking about anything than your "happy life", stop caring about elections, stop thinking in general, just let governments do everything for you.
That process will simply eliminate any kind of "intellectual elite of society" (which is good for governments - don't think, just re-elect the same people year after year, election after election). But that process will also eliminate any thinking highly motivated people as well, leading to nation degradation in general.
Say, did you even understand what I just wrote? :)
Though you're likely - and unfortunately - correct, it's interesting that you use the name of the Japanese god of death as your screen name. Here in Japan, the "intellectual elite of society" has not been exactly eliminated, but it hardly affects elections. People already don't think and just re-elect the same people, from the same party, election after election (one notable exception does not prove the opposite).
