I'd be shocked to find out that anyone cared where I was/what I was doing if they DID bother to track me. :@
Still...just because I'm ornery: I don't own a single thing that could possibly do so, unless the defunct/unconnected cell phone I keep charged in the car for 911 purposes counts.
And I'd bet dollars to donuts that I'm the only person in this conversation that can make this (however dubious) claim to "invisibility"!
Even YOU have a trackable device. Without one, you would not be able to access this forum or any other part of the internet. ALL internet devices MUST use an IP address (Internet Protocal address) to log on. Big brother with the help of internet service providers can track that address in real time (now). Think of it as an internet phone number that can be traced.
EDIT. If you assume that you are trackable, you won't do something stupid that gets you into trouble. If you assume that you aren't trackable, you are fooling yourself and asking for trouble.
Very true. Not that I like to help big government out or anything, but just this one time I will.
I'm sitting on my couch typing about this post and petting my cat once in a while. Maybe if I throw them a bone big brutha won't slap me down too bad when I'm caught doing something bad. :B
Guess I could have been clearer- I was using "trackable" as relates to my person when away from home. I carry nothing that can track the movements of my tired old carcass/car etc.
I never worry about electronic tracking from/at my home address or at ATM'gas stations etc. due to my absolute belief that there is NO real privacy in the electronic world. No business of real consequence to my Family's lives is conducted online.
As a constant reminder of the porosity of the 'net, I never use it anonymously, either. False sense of security there...and I prefer to be always aware that everything I do/say can be tracked back to me. AT HOME.
