Headline: Revelations Revealed

Nutshell: With RFID, digital medical records, nanotech, biotech, web-services and GPS the ability exists to be "chipped" and "tracked." Privacy and freedom could be threatened. We must be wary.

Vision:

TCP/IP along with the other technologies listed above in the "nutshell" area allows a Global market the flexibility it needs to thrive. This is fine and good as long as human privacy and freedom are protected.

If you read the book of Revelations it clearly states that a "number" will be our demise and at first the new technology will have wonderful implications for the world but in the end will be used for Evil.

With today’s technology as well as the Patriot Act this "revelation" can be revealed. We need to build security mesaures into these new devices and protocols now that prevent that from happening before it’s too late.

Think of this: You must be chipped under the guise of "security" only to have your every move tracked. Access to your medical records, bank accounts, DNA structure all maintained on a miniscule bug that may be involuntarily implanted at birth. Imagine the Commander in Chief stating that if you are NOT implanted you cannot participate in Global Commerce. Read the Book, – its all in there.
