Big Brother is watching you...

From Keyboard Jockey forums:

With 50 year old technology scientists have developed a true implantable tracking device that has the smell of the 'mark of the beast' on it. First used by the British during WW2 to determine if incoming planes were friendly or not, this device, called RFID, an acronym for 'radio frequency identification device' is the size of a piece of glitter and can be used to locate, track, and identify. Requiring no battery to operate, it can theoretically be placed anywhere and in anything.

Police will love this device. You will no longer have any reson to lie as the device can track your movements 24-7. Anything that costs mare than a candy bar will likely have one embedded within it soon as they cost less than a quarter.

Retail giants Wal-Mart and Tesco have deals whereby they will require all of their supplies to utilize there devices by the year 2006. They will be in your shoes, ball caps, candy wrappers, soda bottles, and probably your underwear as well.

Yep. Big Brother is here alright.

I started this thread over a KJ to let you all know what the future is holding for you. It's called your loss of freedom. MGK

I'm not going to start a debate here. All I'm going to say is:

Hey MGK.. the link doesn't work. "http://big brother is watching you" isn't a valid URL... :D

What you want is:
[ur*l="http://www.keyboardjockey.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=154&st=0&#entry2274"]Big Brother is watching you[/u*rl]

without the asterisks in the url tags, of course.

Actually Wal-mart has stopped plans to track products and people. However, a lot of companies (including Wal-mart) already use RFIDs to track skids and cases of inventory within warehouses and such.

Not only that, but the US military is using them for invetory tracking and location finding for oddball misentries of location or something that is walking off. Idea, trash shoplifting, use location data to fix inverntory errors and do better to not order based on last known inventory versu what the needs are today, and save manual inventories. These can be on tags,like the things used to keep valuable things from walking through door scanners at exits are used now but much tinier and cheaper. Not only that, but Credit cards you can expect to more and more know themselves what your open credit is,not just with amag strip but with a tiny procerssor and SRAM circuits inside. Some in future, may know your fingerprint also, and tell the security card approval thing how to know if you are you. Expect ID cards to be similar as things shrink more.
