Last week KDDI under its AU brand launched a new smartphone aimed at companies to keep an eye on their employees. It seems the built in Accelerometer has been thoroughly tested in various situations and sends feedback to the company. Apparently the device can inform the employer if the employee is stacking boxes, walking, running, or sleeping. What an encroachment on personal privacy and liberty!
The mark 2 model due to be released next year has a bluetooth collar with a built in tazer so that employees can be punished on the spot. 1984 was never so bad.
