When I took this class I honestly didn't know what to expect. I ijust figured we would learn more about computers and that it. But we are learning how much techcnology hass helped us and will continue to improve.
We learned about the RFID tags. Which, in simple terms, is a identification card. People put them in their pets incase they get lost they can track them right back to the owner. They donnt need to be in sight to get a reading either. They can be read through the human body!
When Mr.Porter said that they are thinking of putting them in children I was shocked. That has to be inhumane! I am thankful for techcnology because it has made life easier but thats just taking it to a whole new level. I wouldn't want my child to have that. But like everything it has its pros and cons. Pros: If your child gets lost, has to be taken in an ambulance all the info is there. It just seems like too much to risk. I wouldn't want the government to have that much control.
I don't know if anyone has been watching Falling Skies on TNT but it is about aliens coming to earth and taking children as slaves and putting harnesses on them. It seems like the RFID tag can become that if we don't be careful.
