Human Locator

Picture_2Just found this new technology that allows people to interact with advertising called Human Locator from a company called Freeset. The system does two things. First, it allows people to interact with advertising – such as making waves ripple as they walk by for example. Second, it provides the advertisers with measurable viewer data.

Human Locator brings the interactivity of the Internet to real-world environments.

They say. Scary.

One answer on their FAQ that was relieving:

7. Can it differentiate men from  women?
      No. There are privacy concerns with that type of tracking and consumer privacy has always been important to us at Freeset.

I’m On the Run from the Killer B’s

B for Belief. B for Belonging. The B's that lead to most of the killing in the world. If you don't Belong among us, then you're our inferior, our enemy, or both. And you can't Belong among us if you don't Believe what we Believe. Maybe not even then, but it certainly helps. Our religion, our party, our tribe, our town, our school, our race. Believe. Belong. Behave. Or Be Damned.
