High-Tech Trackers
August 27th, 2008
In the absence of cable, my husband and I enjoy the old movies shown on TV during weeknights. Last weekend, the movie Firewall was on and no matter how predictable the storyline is, we still finished its entirety.
As expected, the plot revolved around Harrison Ford, a security specialist, who was forced to rob a bank to pay off his family’s ransom. But what did save the family at the end of the film? It’s GPS tracking. Ford’s family dog has a tracking device attached to its collar, which enabled him to trace his family’s location.
Nowadays, GPS tracking device is installed in mobile phones, cars, pets and even humans. However, I feel that the use of that intelligent tool should be limited to life-threatening or high-security requirements only. I guess that dog in the movie must be really expensive that it requires a GPS tracking device.
