Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

On account of its 'profound societal implications' it has been argued that radio frequency identification (RFID) should never be extended to tracking humans. Nevertheless, 'chipification', the digital monitoring and spatial tracking of people through multiple applications, has become increasingly commonplace. This chapter examines the ways in which schools have become institutional incubators propagating the use of sensory tracking.
