Answer 3

You can secretly track other people on your phone with this amazing technology.

Answer 4

so for example say you are walking thru ur house trying to find something with this tracking device, and the closer you get to the item the app vibrates increasingly.

Or the chip or tracking device could ping and make noise, that way you could follow by sound and find it.

They already have that in the market. One of my past teachers had around 15 chips where you place them anywhere (ie car keys, phone, wallet) and the phone will know where it is.

Answer 9

I don't remember what they are called, but this I found this out about a year ago

Answer 10

Mind showing us that app, I got to take a look at their pricing.

Also I found out it's called an "RFID microchip"

Answer 11

It was called 'Tile mate'

Answer 12

It looks big and 25 dollars is kinda big too

Answer 13

I see room for improvement

Answer 14

They're like 2 in x 2 in tiles that fit in anywhere. But yeah I agree

Answer 15

UGHHHHHHHHHHh. Cruel world

Answer 16

Nah wait, we need to reverse-engineer how pet micro-implants work, because those things are tiny enough to be inserted into the skin.

Answer 17

That is a really good idea.

Answer 18

Ur right theres room for improvement, and if you could find a better system, I dont think you could get any lawsuits or anything like that form the company.

Answer 19

I like the way you think

Answer 20

Sometimes I wonder why airplanes can fly upsidedown if their wings are shaped to create upward lift

Answer 21

its all about pitch. The pilot can change the angle of the wings and such
