Anyone ever listen to the TED radio hour? They had a good program on the GNOME project yesterday morning. Gene modification, and DNA tracking.Encouraging and scary at the same time. Would you like to know any future problems of a medical nature ahead of time? Is DNA traceing legal? Is designing your fetus ethical? And who has access to this material? Then thetre was a segment on GPS. I'm too old for a lot of this stuff, but do have a navigator GPS in my vechicle.[barely know how to use it] Had one in my boat along with a good compass, fantastic gadgets.A couple of years ago I met a guy who was a true techie on the Cumberland river. He had a lap top working with a GPS somehow. He was going to explain it, and I told him its sorcery.They are close to commercially producing GPS dots. You can use them on personal items, never lose anything anything again. And folks are worried about phone taps.Then comes counter measures. Mind boggling stuff, and to believe some folks believe the world is less than 7000 years old.

I like listening to NPR radio, when I'm traveling, I like to listen to a talk show instead of music. and anything that works with GPS is great. I bought a GPS controlled trolling motor for my boat, and never owned anything that goes with fishing, that I like anymore. above you said they we're close to a GPS dot, I wish I could get a small inplant that worked off GPS for my little dog. to be able to track a pet, if it was stolen would be a dream come true. as life goes on, I love to see change, especially technology. and if you look back, most change has taken place in the last 150 years. as we grow older, I think it just comes natural for us to think, how it was as a child and how things have changed. and we wonder what it will be like a 100 years after we have gone on to meet the Lord. when you said the guy you knew that was going to show you how GPS worked with his computer, and you said to him it was Sorcery. that made me think of, what it would have sounded like back in the days of Moses the Prophet. if someone would have told him a Satellite and a TV could show him what was going on across the ocean. he would have thought it was Sorcery for sure. but it was written back then, in the Bible that before the end, that there would be two Prophets that have been gone for hundreds of years, will return to earth, and do great works, and be killed and lay in the street for three days, for the world to see before they rise again. and as I think about this, about the only way this could happen, and the whole world could see it within three days, would be through the technology of the GPS satellite tv.Originally Posted by kygorski

Yeah I like technology as well. We have installed infant abduction systems that can track the baby at any time as long as it was in the "receivers" range which is in a secure area. Same goes for sensitive equipment in hospitals....we can track those as well.
The GPS idea on tracking phones has been out for years and some employers have done that to see where their employees are who carry phones.
I can see an easy transition of small tags in dogs which can transmit locations on the cell data network for a monthly fee. Maybe it would have to start out as a dog collar.
I have my dog implanted with a chip in case he gets lost or stolen. Yeah it's not automatic and needs to be scanned by it can save his life if he is ever in a shelter.
There are cities (Chicago is one I think) who installed a "mesh network" throughout the city and the CCTV cameras just transmit along that wireless network. It's kinda like wireless router but handles a large portion of a city with all the receivers instAlled.
Cool stuff.

SCARY thought, but think of how many kidnapping cases would go away if you could "track" using GPS.
Imbedding a gps tracker that was powered by body power......or whatever.
Interesting, and SCARY, but imagine the abductions you'd prevent.
Imagine equally, the legal issues.

You have to be careful with this technology I bought a bird dog took it to the vet and had him put a chip in the dog.After hunting him for a season took it back to the vet and had the chip removed if this dog ever got lost I did not want him to find his way back.

this reminds me of an old saying, don't buy a pig in a poke { bag } meaning don't buy it without trying it out.
sounds like the bird dog wasn't any good, and you bought a pig in a poke, you didn't try it before buying it.

hey man, I know what your saying about the chip inplant, cost 35 bucks, good to recover your dog if a vet scans it. they already have a small chip that connects to the dogs collar, and can be tracked by GPS, but a thief will remove the collar so it dosen't help. I'm waiting for some company to come out with a small chip that goes under the skin of a dog and can be tracked by GPS. don't see why someone hasn't already done this, it would be a big money maker, there are Billions spent on pets each year. ps. my sister had her dog stolen when she let it outside to potty, her kids were heart broken, she put it on facebook and asked around about it, and after a couple weeks, a neighbor told her they saw the school bus driver get her dog, so she went to the bus driver and she had gotten her little dog and sold it. but the bus driver had to go get it back for my sister. turned out ok, but a GPS chip would have let her go strait to where her pet was.
