I always carry ID anyway.

I think it should be mandatory to have an id, but not some government issued pile of crap, unless it's a free ID that you can apply for, that just proves your name/age/address.

The thing is the future is innevitable, it will at some point be humans with RFID's or whatever their sucsessor is. But we can fight it

I'm fairly mellow whin it comes to these things though. For instace at work they are doing video mystery shopping now, which I have no problem with. But most people are bitching saying "it's invasion of privacy" when really they mean

"I don't like looking at my self on film" when really what they really mean (I know this is true for at least one person at my work place) is "I don't want to be seen doing the half assed job that I do"

To me there is a big difference between a card ID and a smart card ID. But maybe I am just paranoid. I suppose they will have fake ID's that are smart cards just as they have fake id's that are cards so.... I guess still ways around but it would bother me. Goes back to the whole RFID thing to me - I don't like the idea of being tracked.

Hehe. So basically Satis, you are faced with the same problem as me, but you still work at the best of your abilities? Freak!

And Mole, sure, if I really like my boss I'll do a little smething extra too. But really, how often does that happen. I only had it happen to me once and that was during a manual labour job, so it was hard to do that 'good' or 'bad' anyway...it just had to be done. But anyhoo, I see what you're saying.

I see a reason why a paper/cardboard ID could be beneficial to me - therefore I am ok with that type of an ID - however the electronic one to me is just trouble waiting to happen. As it is the cardboard one is a hassel - if you lose it - it is a pain to replace, costs money to replace, means someone could steal my "identity" blah blah. But I do not see why we will keep puching for more and more ways of being tracked.

And, as for the job thing. I work 5 times as fast as the girl who previously did my position. My boss even says so. But I am not saying that is all because I am a badass or anything. It is more of I don't take 15 personal calls while at work, or go into someone else's office and chat for an hour about non job related stuff, or have my other half visit me at work, eat every 15 min, or take hour lunches at the office after I take 45 min to run errands and pick up that same lunch. To me that is way more irritating than if someone just simply did not have the brain to do my job. She is just a lazy, insecure bitch.
