Microfish and Biochips please…

Is the number of weirdo's increasing in this generation or
what? Everyday it would seem some poor family somewhere falls victim to what
must be the cruellest of all crimes, the theft or kidnapping of children. I
guess that the widespread anxiety many parents are experiencing gives good
reason for companies like Applied Digital Solutions (ADSX) to display their
wares - providing what appears to be a very good solution to a very scary
problem.

In an ADSX Press Release dated, 15 August 2002, we read the
following:

"...Commenting on the growing inquiries and media interest
in these technologies, Scott R. Silverman, President of Applied Digital
Solutions, said: "It's a shame that recent tragedies seem to have prompted
this increased attention, but the only way to assist in the prevention of future
tragedies is for parents, law enforcement and others to become aware of
available technologies. Although our technologies have a variety of other
applications, we believe VeriChip, Digital Angel and the forthcoming PLD have
the potential to help safeguard children and provide greater peace-of-mind to
parents...

Digital Angel Corporation (AMEX: DOC) recently announced a
substantial reduction in the size of its Digital Angel emergency location
device. The Company believes this advance could have significant implications in
the effort to locate lost or missing children. Now roughly the size of a
matchbook, the Company believes the new, one-piece Digital Angel unit is the
smallest wireless/GPS (Global Position System) device that will soon be
available to customers...

...The Company believes this new, lightweight, one-piece unit
- which includes an ambient temperature monitor, a boundary alert function, and
panic button - will provide parents with industry-leading versatility and
flexibility in safeguarding the welfare of their children. For larger orders,
the small Digital Angel unit can be configured into various formats such as
necklaces, pendants, bracelets, and belt buckles...

VeriChip, first announced on December 19, 2001, is a
miniaturized radio frequency identification device (RFID) that can be used in a
variety of security, financial, emergency identification and healthcare
applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains
a unique verification number and will be available in several formats, some of
which will be insertable under the skin. The verification number is captured by
briefly passing a proprietary scanner over the VeriChip. A small amount of radio
frequency energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip, which
then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the verification number..."

Amazing technology in a world where weirdo's (a historical
reality) seem to have less inhibitions (that's new) Fear is one of the
ultimate marketing drivers and already there are reports of families lining up
to get wired. It won't be long at all before this 'old technology' is
superseded with the Revelation 13 scenario.
