Say goodbye to locks, leashes, fences, gates and identification cards and bracelets.
Say hello to WozNet, a wireless network that uses radio signals and global-positioning satellite data to track small ID tags attached to people, pets and property.
Manufactured by Wheels of Zeus, owned by Apple Computer Inc. co-founder Stephen Wozniak, the electronic system has a range of about two miles from the base unit.
Set to debut next year, WozNet is described by Wozniak as simple and inexpensive.
Just think: No more abandoned shopping carts, lost children and puppies, wandering Alzheimer’s patients, stolen bicycles and unreturned tools.
Unless, of course, they happen to be 10,560 feet or more away. (9 NOVEMBER 2003)
