Of course, the cost of this BIG Brother device will be passed on to the consumer.
We are rapidly getting to the point, or already passed it, where technology for technology’s sake has gone beyond bounds. A few decades since the pocket calculator became cheap, simple mental math ability has been lost, people cannot even run a cash register now. Then comes the PDAs. People now roaming around with these things stuck in their ears like a bunch of zombies who cannot even carry on an in person conversation. Now we have cars reporting in how many miles we drive, where we are and so on so the government can keep tabs on us. Not for me. If I have to keep my current car till I die, so be it.
