Families and employers are adopting surveillance technology once used mostly to track soldiers and prisoners. [CNET News.com]

I have mixed feelings about this technology… While I think location services are cool for personal use (driving directions, friend finding, store locations, etc…) and tracking of children for parental piece of mind is great, the potential for abuse is certainly there. Let’s hope that the appropriate personal security is added or enhanced as the services become more available.
