So who's ready for their tracking implants? (You probably already have one)

As far as cell phones... Glad I don't keep one.

I just keep mine in a Faraday cage till I need it.

Line your cellphone case with aluminum foil if you're that worried.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Misuse has to be controlled, otherwise there are many benefits.

As recently as 1990 the majority of people in the US did not have cell phones. And guess what ... everybody got by in life just fucking fine. The world's been taught that we all need to be uber-connected. We have to have immediate access to the web and we have to be able to text and download music and movies at a moments notice and blah blah blah blah blah.

It's bull shit. I do have a cell phone, but its just to make - o my god - PHONE CALLS, not to download Britney fucking Spears while texting my spoiled girlfriend and taking a dump between shifts at work.

Take it away and I'm sure I could readjust to a normal life without any wireless communication at all.

I had a stroke on Halloween and it's a good thing my cellphone was on. The ambulance people came directly to me, I didn't even have to say where I was, I just dialed 9-1-1.

(Well, I was in my driveway, so they came to my address to check out the call.)

Did you read what I posted?

Yes, but I was making a general statement in response to the word 'implants' being used in the first place.

If my computer is also being tracked, then one is far more likely to be tracking me than my cell phone being tracked. But even then I sometimes leave Vivi v3 behind. Haven't carted around Vivi v2 in months. Vivi has been gone for years now. So they have to know which of those computers is actually the one I am using. I'm nowhere near ready for another computer when me and Vivi v3 are just starting to really get along

In any event, until they stick them into me: they are not implants.

You don't have to have a cell phone, and neither do any of us. But they are useful to apparently many people, including me. I really don't see why you appear to have a problem with that.

My computer sits under my desk.....it never goes anywhere.

[Rayaan]

I don't have an iPhone and nor do I want one, and I rarely use a cell phone.

Even if I'm tracked with such devices, it's not a big deal to me because, ultimately, I believe that everyone is being tracked by someone far more superior than the government.

I'm tracked by myself, I don't need any government or gods watching where I'm going. It doesn't matter to me unless I'm actively committing crimes according to them

[Autumnlicious]

The government must know I spend a lot of time just sitting around -- at least that's what my cell phone thinks.
