"Mobile phone tracking technology is being put to good use watching how punters migrate around a shopping centre, thanks to gear from Portsmouth-based Path Technologies."
After reading this I wondered how many people actually know that they can be "tracked" simply by having a cellular phone on them. My guess would be that the number is very low. I had heard about this before from a friend who told me a story about his boss being tracked down flawlessly after having stolen some orange cones from a construction site. The guy's boss was a real winner and deserved to be caught for theft of course: however this brings us back to him being tracked by his cellular phone in conjunction with his License Plate number.
And my point is this. Do we as a society believe that our government officials and/or our overbearing, greedy salesmen (the same ones who call you on your home phone at dinner time trying to sell you something you neither need nor want) should be able to track us for any reason. I think not! My belief is that we should be allowed to roam free within our country of origin without being computer tracked by people who want nothing but to keep us down or sell us something.
So the next time you are using your cellular phone just remember this.
