Technology, the Stealthy Tattletale - New York Times

Benevolent Big Brother??

GPS technology is wonderfully (or sinisterly) powerful with so many uses to track people and things that 2007 seems eerily like Orwell's 1984. The Internet and all its peripherals is becoming an extension of our consciousness and a guardian or watchman of our lives. Many will argue this is not a good thing. History shows us that it will be a mixed blessing, but I believe the benefits will outweigh the detriments. 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.'
