Engineering360: "China to Begin Tracking Students Using "Smart" Uniforms"

So-o-o-o-o, CHINA becomes the first BIG BROTHER country, not USA?

Don't worry, our government is taking notes, in earnest.

I see a market opportunity for uniform copies...and silicone masks....I guess they want to get that citizen trustworthiness score started at an early age....I see Facebook is following suit...

If my parents are funding my education, I believe it's appropriate they know if I'm attending, and are alerted if I am wasting time/space/money.

New technologies that open up new opportunities for you. Furthermore, if you start reading all about it on https://sky-writer.com/studymoose-review/ and see how everything can change in a few days.

I agree with every word.
