The GPS Personal Locator for Children is straight out of Bruce Sterling. Of course, just because you know where your child is, does not mean you know they are safe. And Dori, it’s cool AND creepy. This is the modern age. Jet planes take me thousands of miles to where my parents live, and they also have the capacity to destroy buildings. This our age, or perhaps our children’s age. Moreover, this is the 21st Century. The trick is to try and retain our essential humanity. Just don’t ask me how to do that. Heh. [ via backupbrain ]
