GPS tracking teens by cellphone September 10, 2006
Posted by Rich in : GPS tracking cell phones, GPS tracking children , trackbackHere’s an article in the Lawrence Journal-World about GPS tracking of teens by cellphone. The article begins:
Nat Caron, like more than half of today’s teens, carries a cell phone.
The 15-year-old keeps a tiny, silver phone in his pocket to keep in touch with friends. But he’d gladly give up the device if he knew his parents could use it to track where he was at every second.
“That’s creepy,” he says. “We should have freedom.”
With Global Positioning System technology booming around the world, several cell phone companies have begun offering services that allow parents to locate their children’s cell phone locations through their own cell phones or by logging onto a Web site.
Depending on who you are, the technology might be a safety feature and way to keep your family connected, or an invasion of privacy designed to control children.
