This device is continuously aware of your whereabouts to an accuracy of about three hundred feet. As long as you travel within their range, those who maintain the system have a finger on your location, wherever you go."</i><br /><br />Ron Bell from Live Digitally has written a little article on the some of the effects of devices like Smartphones on culture. Nothing new here but short enough to take a look at it. I think the interesting aspect of this is not so much that these devices are changing culture but that we like and want them so much. :)
