The tracking device rebellion
A 13 year old boy and his mother are driving to the hospital so he can get a mandatory tracking device placed in his head. The government has mandated that everyone over the age of 12 must have one implanted. " But mom, I don't want a device in my head". "Now son its mandatory to get this done otherwise we have to pay a fine" she explained. " I just think its an invasion of privacy and I heard it causes cancer" the teen exclaimed. " Listen, I had to get this done when I became 13 years old and now its your turn and when you grow up and have kids they will go through the same initiation process. Besides, the tracking device keeps crime down by constantly tracking people with bad behavior or possibly bad behavior and it helps you control some of your electronic gadgets as well" she said. Oh right, but I don't like it" he said. They drove the rest of the way in silence. They arrived att hospital parking lot , parked the car and walked to the entrance still not talking to each other. After several minutes they meet Doctor Kincaid." Hey sport, what's your name" he asked the teen. "Kevin" he said weakly. " ok , Kevin " he said " the procedure is quick and painless and once we are done we can track you if you are kidnapped or something and you can also control electronics" he said. " OK, lets get this over with" kevin said. Doctor Kincaid and Kevin and a nurse went to the operating room. After an hour they were done." Alright, we're all done" Doctor Kincaid said. " Now he may have headaches and nosebleeds but he should be good in a week or two" he explained. "Thank you, Doctor" Sharon, kevin's mother, said. They left the hospital and went downtown to drop Kevin off at his best friend,silopanna, apartment. Sillopanna was waiting for him outside her apartment building. His mother drops him off then drives off promising to come back and pick him up. " So you finally had it done today" Sillopanna said. " Yeah but I wish I had'nt but my mom and Doctor forced me to. I mean I wish I had more freedom or independence and more privacy and this tracking device violates all that. Plus I heard it causes cancer and government is just using it to track and try to control people" he said. "Yeah , I have to get my implant next week. Speaking of which theres a protest in the discovery district right now, wanna go? " She asked. " Well I never been to a protest before so I don't know what to do once we get there" he said." Don't worry , lets just go. Your the one who wants more independence and privacy and the device not in your head and thats what the protest is all...
