Essay on The Pros and Cons of Tracking Devices

Microchipping people isrecognized as one of the most popular evolutional technologies that could change people 's life style and standard. Human implanting has the potential ability of saving life when emergency; it is capable of improving efficiency at work and life quality of life. Also it can bring evolutional change to the security system forever. With that mass of expectation, microchipping people also brings people equivalent large amount of concerning, people are worried about the consequence of implanting things that are unnatural, radioactive or privacy-threaten into their bodies and unlikely to be taken out undamaging to body. In this report, advantages and disadvantages of the technology will be shown with discussion of engineers responsibility regards on real life cases.

These monitors serve as a two way communication device between offenders and probation or parole officers. With these devices, officers are able to see where the offenders are if they are using GPS devices or they are able to tell whether or not they are home and close to the monitor which is installed at the offender’s home. Offender’s when put on EM, they are given ankle bracelets which give a continuous signal to the monitor which is placed in their home. The monitor goes off and lets the officers know if the offender has left home when they are not supposed to. They are usually set up with times when the offenders should be home and when they are at work, if they are not home when they are allotted to, and then the officers are notified.

Remote patient monitoring. Devices remotely collect, store, and communicate patient or client biometric health information to practitioners. “ (Stephens 2014)

I’m James Wright the father of Autumn Wright. We paid to implement life a saving precaution to our child who is gaining strength and speed, who bolts, wanders and lacks the comprehension of the dangers of such action and has been wearing a GPS device due to the fact that she is developmentally delayed with a seizure disorder that is amplified by overheating. She bolts, wonders and could be in grave danger without assistance. Autumn has bolted from Frenchtown Elementary staff and wondered off several times from me throughout the years. The GPS device she wears is called angelsense and we purchased it for Autumn to prevent a potential tragedy of a lost special needs child.

Going as far as implanting devices into people to monitor them is a little too much, but by adding a few parts to the already existing bracelet should not really present too many problems. All in all I think this program would help prevent re offenses and help curb the costs of putting people back in jail. According to Pro Tech, a company who is working with law enforcement officers in Oklahoma City, it cost roughly $9 a day to monitor a person via GPS bracelet as opposed to $48 a day to send them back to jail. This is only one reason why we should do this, another being that it may help people become productive members of society again by giving them just enough supervision to know that ok if I mess up I am going back to jail and someone may be watching at any time, and enough freedom to let them lead a semi normal life, and not have to worry about ok am I going to miss the phone call because I went to the store. It can also be used on people who are awaiting trial. If we know where they are at all times, they will be guaranteed to be in court.

“Was Pax wearing his U-Sec shirt with a tracking device?” Their tech genius Oliver had been working with nanotechnology to develop a GPS signal that fit inside a button.

The device is paper thin and attaches to the interior of the chosen electronic device. It does not interfere with the operation of any of the electronic devices. To explain to a lay person about how the device attaches to his or her device, it is a thin strip with miniature tracking device embedded into the strip. The strip has strong adhesive and can, at this time, only be installed or removed by a representative of ADT. To the ordinary person this device much resembles a strip that looks like an ordinary serial number strip. This tracking device can be activated by ADT to track missing or stolen electronics and is also able to be tracked by law enforcement when contacted by ADT. This newest device offered to consumers and business clients by ADT will bring a new level to the security and tracking of lost or stolen electronics.

Microchip implant is an exceptionally well thought authentication method that has the possibility of making a huge impact in securing information. The concept of microchip implant was introduced in 1945 by Leon Theremin, who was the originator of one of the first covert devices which is also known as “bugs”. This device is followed by Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology which is a small electronic device that contains a chip. This chips allows the ability to store data typically ranging up to 2,000 bytes or less. RFID is comparable to magnetic strips or bar codes because they all act as a unique identifier for a specific purpose. In order to obtain information from an RFID, you must scan the device just as how a magnetic strip or bar code would require scanning. RFID can also be described as the wireless non-contact use of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields that helps in transferring data with the goal of being able to automatically recognize and monitor tags that are being attached to objects. RFID technology is currently being used by many different industries varying from identifications badges that enclose RFID tags that assist with eliminating the chances of shoplifting, to vehicles using the technology to help monitor the production process and track the vehicles across the assembly line. Other scenarios that may use the microchip implant includes animals having RFID tags placed in them for identification purposes as

During the registration process the user will be asked to create an account with a unique username and password. Included with the bracelet is our customer support service, as well as our GPS locator service. Loved1 has a GPS chip embedded into the bracelet which allows the controller to pinpoint the exact location of the individual wearing Loved1 through our website or mobile app. The GPS sends its location every five minutes which helps to minimize battery usage. The removal of the bracelet can only be done through bluetooth technology. In order to unlock the bracelet, the controller's phone/computer sends a signal to the radio frequency antenna inside the locking mechanism. Loved1 will initially be available for sale directly from our website and Amazon. Further down the line Loved1 will be sold at big box retailers.

Locator chips in children help to save them from child kidnappers and track them down in case of missing or being lost.

Everyone today is being monitored in some way, shape, or form whether you know it or not. Some of the employees, such as patient care technicians and nurses, at the Florida Hospital Celebration Health are being tracked every step they take. In each badge there is a sensor that calculates how many times a worker visits their patient’s room and the nurse’s station. They have had this form of a tracking mechanism for over 35 years (Katz 1). This is just another illustration of how people are tracked unnecessarily

new advancements such as microchip implant for humans and animals can be very controversial. At first, the implants may seem to have benefits but in the long run they will actually cause more trouble than they are worth. These potential "troublemakers" are about the size of an elongated grain of rice and are injected in the skin under the arm or hand (Feder, Zeller 15). The chip is not powered by battery and there is nothing that can possibly leak out into the body (Posada-Swafford 8). An early form of this technology was used to monitor salmon and has been used for other wildlife research (Verhovek 5). The idea of the chips was started from the September 11 tragedy

Technological Surveillance In an age where instant communication and technology provide easy and ready access to information, the society and the individual is caught between two very controversial principles- open information and privacy. The perceptions and expectations of privacy are rapidly changing as a result of current developments in surveillance technologies. The question is are these new surveillance technologies endangering the values and morals of our democratic society, the society we have worked for many centuries to achieve?

Global Positioning Anklets used in conjunction with other methods such as risk assessments and cognitive behavioral treatment. The use of these anklets acts more of a sanction against the offender and servers to improve cognitive behaviors so that they can become a functioning member of society. The use of these devices and other forms of electronic monitoring are currently a large part of probation. In 2004 over 20% of offenders on probation were on electronic monitoring. (Gable 1) That number has increased over the last ten years. Forms of electronic monitoring are now the go-to item as far as sanctions against offenders.

GPS has made our lives so much easier. We don't have to print out directions before heading to an unknown address. GPS-enabled devices we carry with us daily allows us to travel freely without worrying about getting lost. There are also a number of GPS devices to help us keep track of our children. It's a dangerous world out there, and at any moment, we might need to know where our children are located.
