Brazilian Schoolchildren Tagged By Computer Chips

Posted by timothy on from the combine-two-fetishes-into-one dept.

New submitter smi.james.th writes with an AP story, and extracts from it: "'Grade-school students in a northeastern Brazilian city are using uniforms embedded with computer chips that alert parents if they are cutting classes, the city's education secretary, Coriolano Moraes, said Thursday.' Personally I don't find this too inspiring. Mr. Orwell certainly has warned the world about this."

    Doing this with chips is barbaric.

    No, it's British. The American way would be doing it with fries.
