For some misinformed and paranoid people, the NWO represents every horrible evil of the Nazis and "1984" and every sci-fi dystopia ever imagined, with mind control, concentration camps, and mass slavery. Where they get these ideas is anybody's guess, most likely from people who like to cook up fictions that play to people's basic paranoid fears and make a few bucks from them.
As it is, the NWO will be created as a response to the increasing interdependency of all people and nations on the planet. The planet is becoming far too interconnected to let random catastrophes and the actions of a few people disrupt the flow of goods and information. As it is, a drought in Brazil has a huge effect on cattle production in Australia, which will affect markets in America and Japan. A farmer in Nebraska is directly affected by floods in the Ukraine. The problems created by this interdependency are too complex for any one country or stray group of countries to manage, and the U.N. has proven itself to be ineffective because it has no power to back up its judgments. And even with the economic power it has, it's not fair for the United States to have to bear the economic burden of being the world's policeman (or the world's rescue service, as in the case of the 2004 tsunami).
The NWO will essentially be an administrative overlay on top of the currently international government structure. It would be mostly be involved in regulating and monitoring commerce by standardizing money and communications protocols. Other functions would include researching the planet to determine optimum population levels, and developing agencies for preparing and responding to large scale weather disasters such as droughts, blizzards, tsunamis or a possible asteroid strike.
Advanced technologies will be used in the monitoring process, and are a natural progression of current technologies. Tracking people (generally not individually, but at least statistically) will be necessary to determine contact routes and speed of spread in the event of a pandemic, as well as to find out ways to optimize power use and transportation services. The tracking will have some limited use for local law enforcement to locate and apprehend criminals. If you're not a criminal, that's a good thing! Otherwise, it won't be that much different than the cell phone you already carry, which can provide GPS location information.
The thing most detractors don't seem to understand is that they are already under the "control" of several layers of government. The NWO would just be an upper layer. If you're not involved in any activity that is going to damage the environment or hinder commerce, it's really not going to be interested in you. And it's been proven time and again that the carrot works much better than the stick when it comes to increasing productivity, so rather than slave labor camps, what you're more likely to see are more jobs and social welfare programs that keep people healthy, happy and working hard to get more cookies.
