I'm not too keen on the idea of being tracked through my mobile phone, but it sounds like a great way to keep tabs on my teenagers!
I think that most people like the idea of keeping track of others, but DISlike the idea of being kept track of themselves; hypocrisy is alive and well in the modern world.
I just got a cell phone last year, because I didn't want one before that. Still don't want one, but it was a gift. Used to be that you could turn the phone off and it couldn't be triangulated. That's not true with new phones though.
Keeping tabs on teenagers will be harder than you think, even with this technology. They seem to be the first to either think of a solution to a technological problem or the first to take advantage of someone else's solution.
Do you respect an adult's privacy but not a child's?
I suppose it would depend on how badly I needed / wanted the job, what the specific monitoring rules were (for example, I wouldn't mind it so much if the off-limit locations were limited to places I shouldn't be going during work hours only - like bars and the golf course) and the monitoring was limited to work hours only. I especially would understand it for those employed in public sector. It does set an interesting precedent though.
