Security cameras, access cards, passwords for computer access, keycodes for copy machine usage, complete backups of email, tracking of phone calls from landlines and company mobile phones, Onstar and GPS in company vehicles, etc.

And that's just in the workplace. In our personal lives there are credit card databases, Google search histories, store loyalty cards of all manner, car computers that can track your speed right before an accident -- you name it.

So who's afraid of a little RFID? It's an expensive afterthought compared to all the information out there about you.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/04/rfid-enabled-pervasive-employee-monitoring/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/04/rfid-enabled-pervasive-employee-monitoring/

When they start tracking us through tiny implanted GPS chips in our body would you be saying the same thing?

One day someone's going to invent a little tiny chip that can turn vibrations from our bones into audio. That's when the government won't even need to issue search warrants. When every citizen is implanted with one they'll just download all the audio they need from that chip. Or listen in, in real time. I can hear it now: "I've got nothing to hide....they can listen all they want."

Great!

Seriously though, this sort of monitoring takes away trust. How is an employee supposed to have responsibilities without trust?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/04/rfid-enabled-pervasive-employee-monitoring/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/04/rfid-enabled-pervasive-employee-monitoring/
"I know sir, it's been a long week and the family understands your needs." Raise, here I come.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/04/rfid-enabled-pervasive-employee-monitoring/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/04/rfid-enabled-pervasive-employee-monitoring/
Yes, but then the slackers are gone, we have a few overambitious eager-beavers on the other end of the scale. And they soon set the tone what the basic minimal workeffort per day should be. And since NOT ALL can be 'noticed and rewarded' (that would be too expensive for the company); the majority now gets the same or less as previously, but now with more work-effort to get it. Add to this that we all are expected to work to at least 65 (or longer) nowadays, thanks to the aging population.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/04/rfid-enabled-pervasive-employee-monitoring/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/04/rfid-enabled-pervasive-employee-monitoring/
