A host shares an anecdote about his son's perspective on tracking technology, suggesting that younger generations (ages 16-25) may find microchip implants "cool" for social features like Google Locator. This shift in attitude could lead to the end of fake IDs and traditional privacy, as constant location sharing becomes normalized through backpacks and mobile devices.
