Intel's experimental baby (and grandma) monitors

As if Microsoft's creepy
bears and
wall clocks weren't enough, now Intel is getting
their Orwell on unveiling experimental (read: don't sue us yet) systems to monitor the very young and very old.
First, a baby monitoring system consisting of a mattress lined with a series of sensors and video camera hidden in
a teddy bear (of course) which sends a child's heart rate, temperature, pattern of movement data and video and
still photos to the anxious parent's PC. Second, a house where every item is RFID (of course) tagged allowing a
remote console to monitor whether the TV was turned on or a spoon was moved. One supposed benign use of this would
be to track medicine bottles of the elderly – if they moved during the day then it is likely that grandma took her
meds (or was doping the cat). We won't even go into the WiFi tracking of personnel because, quite honestly...shhh,
they are watching us. Right. Now.
