  • There's a lot of talk about the Internet of things, said Etienne Benson, "and increasingly some of them are living things." Benson, from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, was speaking at Digital Animals, a one-day conference examining how digital perspectives and technologies will change animal protection. Benson cited Western Australia's Sharksmart tracking system which reveals a worrying shift in the philosophy behind tagging animals. Among Western Australia's sharks, Benson argues, the tags have become a technology of control and punishment as sharks are literally being treated like criminals.
