Before we know it everything over five dollars is gonna have one of these impossible to find inventory transmitters in it. This makes stocking jobs at stores much easier, and is gonna make shoplifting damn near impossible. Its also gonna be used to breach our privacy in favour of better marketing, much like spyware, cuz they dont get deactivated after you buy them, they just change something in their memory to say that they have been bought, that way people can just scan you to see what products you have. The devices at the moment can be scanned from 50 meters away, so marketers could likely one day just drive down your street and scan your house to figure out what products you own and send you custom junk mail to sell you more shit.
This shit is just gonna be deployed all over america (and possibly elsewhere) without anybody asking about how we feel about it. They are already in a bunch of wal-marts, the big companies will get them first. |

Any articles or is this just speculation? I worked at a major new Wal-Mart Supercenter made to be the nicest Wal-Mart in the United States just about a month ago, stocking shelves with merchandise, getting ready for things to be opened. I've never even heard of this before.
Proof, dammit!
