Gps in Relation to Social Issues?

Question

What are the disadvantages and advantages related to social issues of GPS

Answer 1

You may be referring to the process of continually tracking law-abiding citizens as they go about their daily lives.

If so, I don't see a big problem.  I think that individuals will only be tracked intently if they are suspected of unlawful behavior.  Every individual will not be continually tracked.  The database needed to handle that volume of information would be too hard to maintain, and, more importantly, impossible to analyze in real time.  A current example is the governmental monitoring of phone calls.  Only a select few can be analyzed to a significant level in order to elicit any useful information.

Of course, if we are engaged in unlawful, or even inappropriate behavior, we certainly wouldn't want to be tracked in any manner.

And, if we do perceive a need to go dark, as it were, we will eventually have the power to hide from the personal GPS grid, if not from a governmental one.
