If you ask me, it's an invasion of privacy, and in the case of rape, it hardly tells you what is going on, though it might show your whereabouts, and I think it's going to hinder people getting help simply because someone see's where they are at...and trusts that everything "A-OK". This device is telling you where the device is at, not the people also...they could be some where else perhaps?  I realize that the locaters they use for skiers could save their lives, and I think an good idea, but what will happen if the slopes are bombarded by thousands of such devices daily?..could an weak signal get through? Last night I saw the first keyless computer also, an disc wheel when touched brings the keyboard onto the screen and you type off it apparently...they are already working on another version of it, and say right now it's pretty clumpsy to use it, Apple sells it and it's in the $2600 range to buy one. You can't beat "family"coming an going and living with you in an house, 24/7..and having an open house at times where others can see what's going on within it sometimes. You need an variety of people your around also. One of the biggest things burglers have going is the telephone call to "peg" what hours your in your house and what hours your not...one reason why most all phone calls should be on an answering machine...then you call the person in question back...unless it's an family member.  Why pay all this money for new technology when cars are sold with "On star" with an touch of the finger, and "Medical Alert" sells tags so if you touch it or it goes out for any reason, if you don't call them back when they call you, they send out an 911 emergency. My dad had such and beleive me, if he so much as leaned down and shut his tag off by mistake they were callling him to reset it, or they'd call emergency to his house which ever was needed, and ussually within seconds of his hitting it by mistake also...but it did not monitor his where-abouts. If he left the house, he ususally did so with someone with him. As for the rest, you can't beat corner house video camera's and sensor lights that come on during the slightest sound outside. but then again, it says alot for the lack of privacy at times also. I suggest as I learned an long time ago, don't keep valuables at your house, keep them in an bank deposit box and make someone an co-share key-holder with you. Theives eventually get caught up with by having stuff stollen from them also. I learned an long time ago, decorate with plants, wall pictures, books, "pets" and colors of paint/fabric. Use inexpensive things so if they go out the door, they were worth very little. My son's private school taught us another technique, it's called placing the toys on shelves...and when you take one down, you play with it until you put it back for another, when the crowd leaves the kids help put things back on the shelf in it's place, it teaches them organization and you can see instantly what might be missing, if anything is missing, before they walk out the door even. I've had an lot more stuff broken then ever stollen...so it's not to unusal for me to shop the thrift stores for things to be placed on tables in my house...at least until the kids grow up an bit more. To think in my childhood people never locked an thing and nothing never got taken either.
