While people often complain about the destructive effects of technology, it's still undeniable that it has brought us many positive things too. At times, however, it can be intrusive, as if it holds nothing sacred anymore. Famous personalities find it hard to be anonymous even for just a few hours because they are always pursued by paparazzi who can take their photos inconspicuously even from a huge distance. Even ordinary individuals air out their problems in the open by writing about details of their private lives on public forums.
While technology has the ability to intrude in our lives, it is only a destructive thing if people use it as such. Oftentimes, its intrusiveness helps people to save the life of others or even their businesses. GPS tracking devices are examples of invasive technology that bring many benefits.
Global Positioning Systems or GPS calculates the receiver's precise site via the indicators sent by the GPS satellites above the globe. It can locate the place of a person, an item, a vehicle, or a place. It is now publicly available for civilian use, although it is generally developed for military purposes. Aside from land and maritime routing, it is also used for law implementation, security and protection, business assistance, or even as an Internet fun pastime.
The most recognizable GPS tracking device is probably the one mounted in vehicles, whether it is privately owned or for public utility. Not all look like a small touchscreen monitor that literally tells drivers which way to go, though. Some are barely discernible and installed inside another device.
The most prevalent commercial GPS tracker type, however, is a real time tracking tool that is seen in our automobiles and mobile phones, which rely on a GPS satellite to transmit their data to a server. This active tracking sort is mostly used for tracking goods and chasing people. There is also the passive type that merely stores the site and other data in the receiver. This is frequently used by bikers, joggers, or other persons who wish to record their distance covered, or by authorities to record a vehicle's location or to monitor a person for whatsoever purpose it may serve them.
