Olivia Solon, Guardian; Amazon patents wristband that tracks warehouse workers' movements
"Amazon has patented designs for a wristband that can precisely track where warehouse employees are placing their hands and use vibrations to nudge them in a different direction.
The concept, which aims to streamline the fulfilment of orders, adds another layer of surveillance to an already challenging working environment."
The Paperback version of my Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published on Nov. 13, 2025; the Ebook on Dec. 11; and the Hardback and Cloth versions on Jan. 8, 2026. Preorders are available via Amazon and this Bloomsbury webpage: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/ethics-information-and-technology-9781440856662/
