I want one for Christmas. Might also be a good idea for your parents who tend to get lost...

People should start naming their children Waldo.

Maybe your parents want to get lost.......

Instead of “Little Buddy” they could call it the “Gilligan.”

I see the good in this, I also see the bad. My FIRST thought was if I can track this device, who else can.

[papasmurf]

If “they” know you Child’s whereabouts and activities, “they” know yours, too.

I trust nothing post 0bama’s ascension.

In 1989 I suggested a similar product while in a senior entrepenuer class at NEU. I called it lo-Jack for kids

the professor and the business majors bashed it

I was only 20 years ahead of the pack

No way.

Loss of freedom ALWAYS starts out with “for our own good.”

First it’s voluntary, then it’s mandatory.

And since a predator could locate this particular device and destroy it, well, then why not have it implanted, where the evil predators can’t get at it?

And so it goes...

Oh kay....where does one put it?

looks like the tube Dustin Hoffman kept his extra pair of glasses in Papillon

I would be very surprised if this device works even remotely as its ads claim. So it knows where it is, and even that is problematical, how does it let someone know? Does it send a signal via the cell system? If so, what's that gotta cost? How many times do you find yourself somewhere with no bars, not the drinking kind? I have a devil of a time with the GPS system in my car getting enough signals to be reliable. Bad weather, tunnels, sunspots when there are any, and a host of other things make GPS really iffy unless it installed properly and of sufficient quality.

I find it hard to believe that a very small device on the arm or in the pocket of a little kid could receive sufficient GPS signals to make it really useful.

Just color me a gadget-freak who has bought more neat little things like this than I like to admit. Very few of them did what they promised. Starting with those rip-off glasses advertised in the comic books in the 50’s that said you would be able to see through girl's clothes. And then there was the walkie-talkie system I bought that turned out to be nothing more than a plastic can and string device.

Yup, been there, done that.

[ottbmare]

Gonna buy one for each of my dogs!

[Kevmo]

This thing will sell like Ice Cream in the summer. Unfortunately, it brings us one step closer to Revelation Chapter 13.

Revelation 13 (New International Version)
___________________________________________________________________

16 He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, 17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.

[mongrel]

They finally publicized the fees today - $15/month unlimited use and $1 pay per use.

The $1 per use would be nice for tracking valuables. No regular costs until you actually need it.
