It's the mobile phone that does it, something about microwaving brain
cells.

Though he could be right, identity cards could become another form of
taxation, once they are compulsory they can charge what they want for
them. Not much of the money raised from the road fund license gets spent
on roads.

The possibilities are endless, we would cease to be a person and become
a number, a number which records everything we do from cradle to grave,
one number to be used by every government department and maybe every
commercial organisation as well. There is even talk of everyone having
their medical records stored on the card itself.

The 3 billion pounds they'll get from everyone in the country having to
fork out 50 quid for a card is going to buy them more than just a
database.

I used to go along to the Met Office site to get my local weather
forecast. Then one day they said I couldn't have the weather forecast
unless I accepted a tracking cookie from a commercial tracking firm.
I don't get the weather forecast now.

Obviously not very "au courant" with current technology and its applications.
You can get pre-paid systems (i.e. phone plus debitcard), where you can
anonymously phone to your little hearts content.

There's no need to worry about brain damage. At least not in your case. Or
mr. Pitts'.

Mobile cells are now down to 500m in citys. In the Soham case they got
position down to a few yards. As the phone transferes from one base station
to another the system records this.

Did you not do simple maths at school?
A sieries of points produced as above creates a curve.
