I don't think implants will happen because we are already tracked with our devices,
Thats still an "opt in" system, and is still difficult for someone to put ALL the data together "for everyone".
"Devices" can be left behind, or you can use a stolen one, and arent designed for "realtime" tracking. Social media use can be bypassed ( for most purposes ) using VPNs etc if you want
A gps chip inside you linked to a dedicated tracking system is another thing??? ( and would be worth a LOT of money to the owner of that system ) Its just a logical next step in JAs timeline above.
Ie who went to an anti govt rally, someone gets mugged or a place burgled, so who was nearby at the time. It would be a massive time saver for the authorities.
The techology is advancing fast enough that this is going to be practical soon, and if its practical, you can bet they will try to implement it.
Just think, when yr self drive car arrives, you just get in and a sensor detects who you re and charges you accordingly.
Same for public transport, shop payments etc
Hmmm, phones can go back to being phones and browsers, without needing finacial security systems :-)
