No one explained that until afterward. What they allowed however, was management to track which employees went to which sessions, and which just kinda fucked off.

Last I heard, several commercial ventures already had some on the shelf. The idea is they can reduce losses from theft quite a bit by embedding chips and erecting tracking devices. The trackers are supposed to be rather innocuous. I know I never noticed anything out of the ordinary at the convention. The id is sufficiently large enough to encode a chip on every grain of sand on earth. The problem with them in this context is they are simply antennas with no power source. Current has to be induced to get the thing to transmit its id, and of course, there has to be a tracking device within range to interpret it.

I hadn't heard of them until the convention, but it was kind of spooky. I've heard all kinds of speculation about them including talk of embedding them in every product produced. The concept there is that no matter where you go, the instant you walk within range of a tracking device, everything on your person can be traced back to a legal purchase. And if it can't, you potentially are a thief. Unless you steal absolutely everything, one legal purchase can enable identification through credit/debit card use.

Shrug.

I worry that the legislation will CLEARLY promote nasty digital watches - and I denounce it accordingly

plus, its a total crock of BS that would only worry someone who already lives in a world of completely deluded paranoia



Then walk away from the thread.   No one asked you if you are paranoid.



You do that a lot.A lot a-lot.

Must be discouraging.

All that could easily be viewed by PA or one of his ilk as a scary takeover and invasion of privacy by a big brother.

Just saying.

What tazzeygirl posted scares the shit out of my thought.Good God.That device will be half as small and twice as powerful(or more) in ten years.

Just hope`n the good outshines the bad.The potential for abuse is huge.

We have technology.

It can be used for good or for bad.

In the past- power- gets abused.
