GPS

Just a few years ago, people thought that mapquest was the best thing we could have to direct us to our destinations. Little did we know that we would have devices directing us exactly where to turn, and finding routes based on lowest amount of traffic. Since the explosion of GPS technology, some people cannot even navigate around their home town without their GPS. Of course GPS devices are extremely helpful in navigating to unknown destinations, and this easily outweighs the bad side of not knowing how to self-navigate at times. However, having these devices rules out our simple privilege of privacy. If in possession of a GPS, the government, or anybody else skilled enough for that matter, could pinpoint somebody's position exactly, and follow them to wherever they may travel. 

Is it safe for us knowing that anybody could know where we are at any given time? To a certain extent, this technology is vital; we can get around much easier and much more safely knowing we have a personal driving assistant on hand. But if anybody can access this information, the technology will become detrimental to society. People must have the right to privacy, and shouldn't be able to be spied on to that extent without reasonable cause.
