Who would have thought when the first cell phone came out years ago, that one day we would actually be able to find where are kids are simply by checking Google Maps?! I know I wouldn't have! Today I read that Google is upgrading their mobile maps and wants to help track people by use of mobile phones and other wireless devices. I think it's really great that there's an option like this out there, I'm just surprised it's here so soon. I figured it would be a few years before anything like this was created. I am guessing many parents out there are celebrating. The first thought for me that came to mind was that of privacy, however after reading further I found that the user can turn it off to limit the service which is great too. That way people do not feel their privacy is being invaded. It's all very interested and I'm anxious to learn where they go from here!
