There were many interesting issues brought up in this chapter. One that I was already aware of and scares the heck out of me is the Google Phonebook Service. I suppose it isn't all that different from publishing a phone number and address in a phone book, but just the thought that finding directions to your home by anyone out there is that simple is a little frightening.
The idea of using body scanners to help customers find clothes that best fit their body style sounds awesome to me! I loathe trying on jeans and anything to eliminate that fiasco works for me.
Lastly, the issue of implanting chips into animals sounds like a wonderful idea to me. I know that the issue of imlanting chips into children is very controversial issue and I do understand both sides of this issues. As a mother, I would be willing to sacrifice my child's safety over their privacy, especially younger children. I think this is a practice that will become more popular in the next few years.

I also commented on this. I thought it was also scary but good. I do believe identity theft is going to be easier with some of the new technologies.
i use the internet all the time to look up phone numbers and addresses. I never really thought about people that i don't want to come to my house can also find me. It makes you realize how naive you are.
I want that scanner to find me the perfect pair of jeans!
