GPS in consumer products can be traced with Google Maps
It’s really hard having a teenage lad in the house especially on imposing rules about curfews. My youngest sister is living with us since we transferred her in a school in the city from the university she attends to back home. Now I realize how hard it is to be a parent trying to discipline their teenage daughter. I’m strict in imposing curfews. I’m not killjoy, I’m just being protective because city life is far different from what we used to in the province. I was just hopeful I could always see where my sister is going. The only way I could locate her is thru a mobile phone’s tracking device. Ace discreetly registered her number in a mobile locator and presto, we can track her if we want to. But the problem is, when she knows I’m already mad by not being home on time, she just turns off the phone and we have no way of tracking her location.
This really happened last semester when my sister texted Ace to tell me that she’ll be going home later than expected for she has an interview in a company she applied for a part-time job. Quite mad, I told her to go home instantly and that I am giving her 30 minutes to be home, or else she’ll be grounded. She replied yes but I waited an hour, and then 2….until it was already late. Tell me now who will not get mad with this. I am really furious especially that she’s not anwering her phone. Now I am asking Mamang why she left me with such stubborn sister. Ace used the mobile tracking device and he got an info that my sister is near The Venue compound. What is she doing there? I texted her asking where she is and she told me she’s in her classmate’s place in Jacinto St. Gosh, I really want to pull her hair once I saw her. I hate liars.
Now, school year’s coming and I am starting to worry again because of this not so good attitude of going out without properly asking permission. She has this attitude of just texting me she’s in this or that, doing this or that with her classmates. Since she now knows that we are tracking her location thru her mobile phone, she will just turn it off and presto, she can go wherever she wants. Good thing GTX Corp developed a tiny tracking device that is embedded in consumer products. So, I can just get her a thing (maybe a wristwatch or a choker would do) that she’ll use daily without her knowing that it has a tiny GPS so she can be tracked in real time by Google maps. Yes, this is an excellent news for me and for others also. I don’t have to worry much on where my sister is because I can just check her location through google maps.
