[1]Anil Kandangath writes "A Japanese firm has shown off new
technology that enables GPS units to be embedded [2]in clothing that
will enable the wearer to be tracked continuously. The device is thin
enough to be tacked on unobtrusively and is powered by a thin watch
battery. It is also capable of taking biometric measurements and
[3]transmitting them PCs and handheld devices. Though marketed as a
device to enable people to keep track of spouses, how long before such
technology becomes intrusive in our lives?" Like tracking your spouse
is ok?. What a world!
