Bubble of Fire

The time for the personal firewall is here.
By personal, I mean one that protects your body.

As RFID tech advances, the omnipresent transmitters will become a part of our lives.
Everything around us will change to suit our buying habits.
Brain bandwidth will be consumed by spyware competing for your attention.
Ads catered to your whims and emotions.
Companies tracking your every move.

There are myriad ways of implementing this that can be useful, informative, and beneficial.
But, we should have the ability to disconnect from the grid.
To avoid being followed if we so desire.

I propose installing radio frequency jamming on all new mobile phones (we all carry one).
Updated automatically to detect, warn, and deter invasions.
A bubble that protects us and our information.

The new war will be fought on our bodies…
