Oh sure! Let's just RFID chip all of our kids!

It will be fun . . . won't it?  :)

Sooner or later, it is going to happen; and I am not just saying this
because I believe in God's Word. The reason why it is going to happen, is
because many of our children have been immersed in modern technology since
the day that they were born, or within a few short years thereafter. To many
of them, all of this technology is natural; and thus, they spill their guts
out on places like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc., without giving it a
second thought.

We aging folks had to grow into this stuff. Yes, many of us have accepted
the technology as well, but only to a certain point. When it starts
encroaching on our privacy, we begin to become concerned. Not so with many
kids. They just don't seem to care.

The 666/Mark of the Beast is coming folks; and it may come sooner than any
of us think.


Keeping Track of the Kids

New York Times Editorial

September 7, 2010


This is an era in which many devices are watching us. We carry about
wireless phones that tell our service providers exactly where we are.
Surveillance cameras blink down from corners and storefronts. Advertisers
follow us effortlessly around the Internet. Still, plans in Contra Costa
County, Calif., to tag preschoolers with radio frequency identification
chips to keep track of their whereabouts at school seem to go too far.

The concern that school officials would use the ID chips to keep tabs on
children's behavior -- and tag them perhaps as hyperactive or excessively
passive -- seems overwrought. County officials point out that the tags will
save money and allow teachers to devote less time to attendance paperwork
and more time to their students. And the chips, which will be randomly
assigned to different children every day, according to a county
representative, will not carry personal information that could be
intercepted by others.

We just worry that we are all becoming a little too blase about our
scrutinized lives. Americans' enthusiasm for technological solutions
typically has been balanced by a mistrust of technology taking over our
lives. The demons of "I, Robot" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" always lurked
somewhere beneath the surface of our dreams of high-tech futures.

Part of the reason we now accept the continual observation of our lives is
that we are at best only vaguely aware it is happening. Surveys have found
that most Americans believe, incorrectly, that many common techniques used
by corporations to keep track of their online activity are illegal. Though
it may seem innocuous to attach a chip to our preschoolers' clothes, do we
really want to raise a generation of kids that are accustomed to being
tracked, like cattle or warehouse inventory?
