Not in a million years.

Got an e-mail from my niece.    "Find (niece's) location anytime on Goggle Maps.    You can know exactly where she is."

What!?!?    Voluntarily surrendering one's privacy?   I did not join the site, needless to say.   Guess I am just strange, but I do not see the need for everyone to know exactly where I am 24 hours a day  And I certainly do not want to know where they are..   Nor do I see the need to talk/text constantly with acquaintances/friends.     Are people so afraid of a little time alone these days?    Just do not get it.  No one seems to sit down and take a minute to think any more; just jump from one "exciting" event to the next to the next.   Go along for the ride.    Makes me worried about the future of humanity....

 

no  disbelief

I turned off GPS tracking on all my devices years ago.

I have it on my phone, but I have to be the most boring person to watch ever. I spend my time at home, doctors, church, or buying groceries.

only 1 person has access to that on my phone. And I only turn it on in certain situations and give her a heads up. It's a safety thing.

I guess my main concern is that people will get used to using this app and being easily located. Then it becomes a rule/law that you must belong and then we are starting to look at 1984.... (Orwell) where government knows where you are all the time, etc. But, as you all know, I am paranoid anyway....

 Meh.  I'm pretty sure they already know.

 We're there, I'm afraid. 

 

You can't go anywhere that isn't being recorded these days.

 The camera stuff I think is good.  But on an electronic device, just turn off tracking GPS. Easy.
