Apple Computer cofounder Steve Wozniak and his company Wheels of Zeus have developed wireless location-monitoring technology for tracking children, pets, and objects. The electronic tags use GPS and radio technology and should come to market next year. They will be able to issue alerts by phone or e-mail when, for example, a child arrives at school or a dog wanders beyond a gated area.
