Using GPS technology, these gadgets already detail everywhere a person goes, mapping out their travels on a computer grid, making it easy to monitor and track people's every move.

Internet sites visited, credit card purchases, social media activity -- all of this information can now be collected and analyzed in elaborate algorithms to market back to individuals.
