GPS cell phone tracking and privacy October 27, 2006
Posted by Rich in : GPS tracking and privacy, GPS tracking cell phones , add a commentA British site, the Guardian Unlimited, has a good story on GPS cell phone tracking. Would you willingly trade your right to privacy for convenience? Tim Hibbard thinks so. He predicts that “convenience will rule:”
People are very willing to give up their privacy… You just have to give them a good reason to do so. If you can assist a person in their everyday life, they will be more than happy to divulge their current location. For example, you can synchronise your calendar with your GPS device and be alerted when you need to leave for an appointment, following a route that’s been automatically generated based on real-time traffic conditions. Or you can be alerted when you are six blocks from a store that contains an item that is on your online shopping list.
