teniscp.jpg The company Issac Daniel Co., which holds the patent and create models of shoes equipped with GPS, announces that by the end of this year, the line of children's shoes with the browser will also be on sale.

The soles of the right foot has a minicomputer with 20GB of internal memory. The device must be recharged every three weeks. The transmission of GPS signals is activated when the user presses a button on one side of the shoe, or when someone makes a call to the center of the tracking company, ID Conex. Only the company can track shoes.

The idea arose after that Issac Daniel, a former analyst of the United Nations, received a phone call saying that her son was 8 years had disappeared from the queue on the school bus. Desperate, he took a plane to go to New York, where he was, until Atlanta. When he arrived there he discovered that the boy had just left a few minutes to go to the bathroom.

From then on, began to inquire about missing children and think of a way to alleviate the problem. Until we came to the solution of tennis shoes - which also like military, and are not useful in Alzheimer's patients, which eventually forget the path to return home or are suddenly, lost.

The first round of thousand copies, was sold only with pre-orders via the website. With the success, the line grew - there are more than 15 models now - and soon also come to the world children.
