I like to say that technology is neither good nor bad; that distinction is for people. AirTags, Apple’s tracking device, are an awesome solution for things you want to keep tabs on. According to KAIT8 in Jonesboro, AR, an unidentified woman got into her car and a dialog box popped up on her iPhone saying, “The location of this AirTag can be seen by the owner. Your AirTag has been found moving with you.” Since she had no idea what an AirTag was, she “freaked out.” Wouldn’t you?
