If Benetton can use tracking devices to "track its inventory" can educators use them to track a student's academic progress? Can we update their chips every time they take a course with grades and comments on overall performance. These chips could carry all of the information that we need to get to "know" a student, eh? To hell with the constitutionality of the whole thing. Doesn't anyone think about the implications of these kinds of things before they run out and buy 1/2 billion rice grain sized tracking chips?
When they started putting tracking devices in pets I thought "Cool, Dog-Jac!" and then the jokes began about children and "Kid-Jac" and until now I thought that it was just a joke. Tracking people's underwear scares me! I haven't shopped at Benetton since I was...for a while and this insures that even if the urge does strike me in the future, I will definitely restrain myself!

What does it mean when McDonald's is offering Wi-Fi with the purchase of an extra value meal? All kidding aside, what does it mean? Who are they trying to draw in to the stores and why. Are we attempting to build some kind of psuedo family outting where Moms and Dads telecommute while little Ricky screams his lungs out in Playland?
