The developer strictly states that this tracking system is purely for entertainment purposes. I'd like to think so too...
This 17 year old son would not go for this. :lol: This could be useful in some instances, but this really touches on invasion of privacy. If I really wanted people to know where I was (or where other people were), I'd pick up the cellphone and call them! :lol: I'm all for new GPS gadgets, but these locator-type devices aren't sitting well with me yet.

I suppose some day every cellphone will have a GPS chip turned on by default. Once RFIDs become prevalent, you'll be able to tell where nearly everything you own (or someone else owns ) is. The plus is you should never lose anything, but is that really worth the loss of privacy? Hmm...kinda got OT there, but anyway...back to the 17 year old girl. :lol:
