Would you object to buying goods with smart tags? Why or why not?

I wouldn't object buying goods with smart tags. The main reason is the price of
goods would fall. I think we all like when we buy goods at a lower price than it was.
Also, I am in favor of companies recording fewer thefts and errors. When we talk
about our privacy, we can “kill command”, but for companies it is useful thing to
check where is located their products. It can also stop thefts and errors.
