"Suppose I approached you with a request. I want you to carry a small gadget that will automatically transmit your location to the police, allowing them to track your every movement 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Chances are you would politely decline. Too late. You already accepted."

Actually, no.
I have never used a cell phone, never will. I have a perfectly good telephone at home and at work, plugged into the wall where it can't get away. When I walk, I don't need a phone; don't want the distraction of its incessant ringing. Can't think with people yammering at me all the time.
