There are a number of stipulations and controversies surrounding phone tracking. One of these is the matter of privacy. People, regardless of their economic standing hold their privacy dearly. This means that they would not like the idea of anyone to be able to track their whereabouts for whatever reason. Some on the other hand are more concerned about the idea of stalkers who would like to wish them harm for knowing where they are.
Phone tracking is a technological advancement that allows people to be able to know the location of an individual through their mobile phones. While it has its privacy-related disadvantages, it also presents its own set of benefits. This is especially applicable for parents who would like to know where their children are. There are some instances when children would need to go on school-sponsored trips or other out of town activities. This would not only provide them the peace of mind in knowing that their children are safe, it would also give them the confidence that their children are indeed in the place where they need to be at.
In other cases, people who have had previous relationships would tend to be paranoid with this innovation. Some would get to think that they would be easily found and prone to harm by their previous lovers who would like to get back at them. They would not have the ability or the advantage to be able to know if they are already being monitored. In cases like these, they are absolutely handicapped from knowing what they are getting in to. On the other hand, people like these can have the advantage of being warned through especially designed software. The software has the ability to protect itself from others that would like to trace the whereabouts of the mobile phone.
