Tracking Kids

Kids of all ages have cell phones. Not only that but most kids know how to use them way better then their parents. My mom has a nicer phone then me, the latest iphone, however I still have to help her use it and show her where things are. Since kids are being raised with cell phones, things related to technology are easy for them. It has become common sense for all kids to be able to handle any type of cell phone.

More importantly it is good that kids have cell phone so they are able to contact their parents when needed. When I grew up, I remember having to wait for my mom to come pick me up from dance or a friends house. It is so much easier to send your parents a quick text about where you are and when they will come pick you up.

Cell phones have evolved to have a tracking device inside them. This is helpful for the parents in case their kids are not anwsering there phones. Parents no longer have to bug their kids about their whereaboouts or wait for a check in phone call. If the kid is traveling in the car, the gps tracker will also tell you the speed and direction of the phone. This is all done by going onto a website that tracks the phone.

  1. whoa, i did not know phones had tracking devices in them, i thought the only thing was a GPS. that is really interesting. I found that the mixture of the past on "waiting" for your parents was a good point. It used to be so hard staying after school for sports and etc, now we just send a txt.
