Google has kept track of my locations on this rock for the last several years. I can find out where I was a year ago at this time. It's kind of amazing. My guess is that the data will still be around a hundred years from now. I find it strange that somebody would want to do this.

The kids don't mind being tracked on the web and in their locations in time and space. The old folks seem to be afraid of it. It is interesting how the generations have such a different point of view. In such a world, doing illegal deeds or illicit acts will be easily suppressed. Is that good or bad?
