People-Tracking Wristbands
"People-tracking wristbands"
Don't like the sound of that.
Nonetheless, here we go........
Bulgaria is the latest country to test a wristband that can track people during the coronavirus pandemic.
Up to 50 residents in Sofia will be given a device that can record their movements using GPS satellite location data.
Several nations are testing similar wristbands to make sure people are obeying orders to stay at home.
South Korea and Hong Kong have also been using electronic trackers to help enforce quarantine.
As well as confirming a person is staying at home, the device can monitor the wearer's heart rate and be used to call the emergency services.
In South Korea, people found to be violating quarantine rules can be ordered to wear a tracking band.
Any type of tracking-technology gives me the heebie-jeebies.
"Big Brother".
"Invasion of privacy".
"Government over-reach".
Whatever you want to call it, do we really want to become a society that not just embraces -- but welcomes -- this type of stuff?
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
