I'll bet they are working on implantable cell phones. Can't leave those at home.
And I don't believe for a minute they can't unlock cellphones. They can probably read everything on there the minute it's turned on, anyway. Nosey buggers.

I just went on and tracked my history. Theres places on there, that I haven't even heard of.... but I guess I have been there. I see its put places on, that I have been with my school bus. Business's I guess I have stopped or been near. Oh well. The only good thing about it is... if I get murdered and dumped somewhere, and my phone is stolen... they can maybe find me??

If you manage to call 911 they can turn on your gps chip even if you had it off to track your phone better. They can also triangulate your location from cell towers pretty accurately for those that don't have a smartphone.

technology, the good and the bad all in one, what makes the difference is who is using it and for what.

I am married to an IT guy and he tells me to never click on a link if I am not 100% sure if its safe.. This link on that webpage freaks me out because it asks you to log on using your google account...... Weird. Lol.

Turn off your location on your phone and if a website wants or needs location on it will prompt you to either allow or dismiss the request.
