This article strikes me in as the potential outcome of one of the two following phenomenon:
A) The Circle {movie}
EVERYWHERE is a shared space is SI. And if this is new information to you, This is surprising. The fact is Cell Jamming is STILL Federally Illegal, and in a context with brilliant minds hunting for bugs, features, or backdoors depending on your ‘angle’…It stands to reason not fighting against the torrent that is the rest of SI is not equivalent with a failure to think differently….Besides, we all Know Ives lab is not ‘accessible’.
B) The Wonderful World of Disney: https://www.wired.com/2015/03/disney-magicband/
This concept was given every ounce of criticism onlookers could muster before the data was released;
It’s an invasion of privacy; I don’t want to wear that; it’s not secure; its a ploy; they’re selling your personality type; it won’t improve park function.
And while I cannot say with certainty that we our not being pigeoned holed by the bracelet, I can say that it surpassed the ‘Imagineers’ Wildest expectations of what routine IoT big Data Logistics can offer a Large Campus. MILLIONS in Savings, IMMEDIATE problem detection, SECURITY @ a glance….etc.
