As I listen to the radio or the TV, I continually keep hearing about missing people, an old man with dementia leaving his house, people with Alzheimer disease disappearing from retirement homes, children going missing or being abducted, and last but not least all manner of pets disappearing from your premises.
I say put a GPS tracking device in everyone and everything.
As soon as you are born we should all have a tracking chip embedded in us, and have not just our location but other information on it as well, your age for example, your DNA number, to prove you are who you say you are, a limiter that prevents certain internet content usage at different ages, and whatever else we might need to live on this ever evolving planet.
I can already hear you people screaming about your privacy rights and invasion of privacy laws, but the fact of the matter is almost everyone has a GPS tracker on them at all times right now anyway, it's just not embedded under your skin. Yes, it's your cell phone and it has almost all your information on it as well.
You could also complain that the bad guys could hack your chip or use that information for nefarious deeds. I say of course they can, and it can happen right now too, to anything you own right down to your car.
This isn't the movies, and there is an almost infinite amount of information out there in the form of our data, so unless you are in the spotlight of the law or an underground criminal of some sort you really have nothing to worry about.
Right now at any given time your whole life could be open like a book and revealed to the world if you were to draw the attention of the wrong people.
Why don't we at least get some benefit to us as human beings instead of always being abused and misused. Being able to find your missing child, pet, or loved one in an instant would be a huge relief to anyone. Unsolved murder rates would go down, kidnapping and abductions would also become a thing of the past.
