I’m thinking would I do that to my kid? It all depends on what are we driven by – or lack of trust and the will to control the child, or the concern for our children. Having such abilities is tempting – where does our children go after school, does it lie sometimes telling that he or she stays at her friends… But this is not the most important. But we have some arguments for. What should we do, when a child gets lost, or (God forbid) someone kidnaps him or her? The best solution would be a possibility of turning on the remote localization system, because it would certainly be useful in those cases. Both the child and the parents would feel much safer, because you would not have to search in panic – you’d just turn on the chip and it’s done. If I could turn on this “leash” in such moments, I could “implant” myself – just for my own safety. <br />-#-#-#- <br />And one more thing in which this technology would be useful. There are some people, towards who society trust is low. Democracy is democracy, but implanting the chip i.e. ex-murders or rapists could be brought up for discussion. Of course we can believe in rehabilitation, but not in this country. The man is not perfect that is why we don’t deserve perfect freedom. As a single person living among the society I would feel much safer, if we could i.e. check if one or another were at that place at that time. I’m just thinking – if we all had a chip like that, the problem of fights, some murders etc. would be gone. Our ways would be monitored… Let’s say someone beats you. Then you check whose chip was at that time at that place and it’s done. It all seems really simple, but creating just rules of using these possibilities will certainly be questionable – just because people are not perfect. <br />Pawelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11252658503263556514noreply@blogger.com
