Oh sure! Let's just RFID chip all of our kids!   
      
   It will be fun . . . won't it?  :)   
      
   Sooner or later, it is going to happen; and I am not just saying this   
   because I believe in God's Word. The reason why it is going to happen, is   
   because many of our children have been immersed in modern technology since   
   the day that they were born, or within a few short years thereafter. To many   
   of them, all of this technology is natural; and thus, they spill their guts   
   out on places like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, etc., without giving it a   
   second thought.   
      
   We aging folks had to grow into this stuff. Yes, many of us have accepted   
   the technology as well, but only to a certain point. When it starts   
   encroaching on our privacy, we begin to become concerned. Not so with many   
   kids. They just don't seem to care.   
      
   The 666/Mark of the Beast is coming folks; and it may come sooner than any   
   of us think.   
      
      
   Keeping Track of the Kids   
      
   New York Times Editorial   
      
   September 7, 2010   
      
      
   This is an era in which many devices are watching us. We carry about   
   wireless phones that tell our service providers exactly where we are.   
   Surveillance cameras blink down from corners and storefronts. Advertisers   
   follow us effortlessly around the Internet. Still, plans in Contra Costa   
   County, Calif., to tag preschoolers with radio frequency identification   
   chips to keep track of their whereabouts at school seem to go too far.   
      
   The concern that school officials would use the ID chips to keep tabs on   
   children's behavior -- and tag them perhaps as hyperactive or excessively   
   passive -- seems overwrought. County officials point out that the tags will   
   save money and allow teachers to devote less time to attendance paperwork   
   and more time to their students. And the chips, which will be randomly   
   assigned to different children every day, according to a county   
   representative, will not carry personal information that could be   
   intercepted by others.   
      
   We just worry that we are all becoming a little too blase about our   
   scrutinized lives. Americans' enthusiasm for technological solutions   
   typically has been balanced by a mistrust of technology taking over our   
   lives. The demons of "I, Robot" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" always lurked   
   somewhere beneath the surface of our dreams of high-tech futures.   
      
   Part of the reason we now accept the continual observation of our lives is   
   that we are at best only vaguely aware it is happening. Surveys have found   
   that most Americans believe, incorrectly, that many common techniques used   
   by corporations to keep track of their online activity are illegal. Though   
   it may seem innocuous to attach a chip to our preschoolers' clothes, do we   
   really want to raise a generation of kids that are accustomed to being   
   tracked, like cattle or warehouse inventory?
