GPS tracking device: Good or Bad?

Couple of weeks ago, I was asking my readers if today’s GPS tracking device was good or bad? I still am trying to analyze every possible option to get a perfect answer to my question because GPS Tracking technology as I’ve even mentioned in few of my previous posts; too have both beneficial and harmful effects.

One way it’s good since you can keep tracks of things and people that are important to you. Your kids, vehicles, office employees will never get lost anywhere. You can even check if your spouse is cheating on you. And in law enforcement also, it can play a key role to maintain law and order. GPS fleet tracking helps big transport company to monitor their fleet of vehicles or for vehicle tracking purpose.

But the worst effects of this technology can me real devastating. Relationship can be hampered. I mean how’d you feel if you were being tracked 24-7? Everybody needs privacy. Also criminal’s can use this very same technology to carry out their criminal activities with effectiveness. So, you see I’m stuck again between the good and the bad effects of GPS Tracking technology. Many things would have been difficult in the absence of this technology but under those many thing also come many illegal and criminal activities. In general if you see, the technology isn’t bad in itself but it’s attached to many controversies and cannot be ignored too.

I don’t want to be much analytical or controversial either but I’m real confused. Would it have been better if you can sell the tracking devices to authorized people only, I mean after getting to know all the things about where and how this will be used? I know it’s a stupid thing to say. Nowadays tracking devices are found everywhere for a mere cost.
