It’s The Ultimate Snitch
One thing people still don’t seem to be aware of — even after years of smartphones taking over people’s lives — is the locator option that every device has. You don’t have to be tech savvy or a gadget geek to know that your phone’s settings are the meat and potatoes of its operation. This is where you tell it what you can and cannot do. It’s tantamount to giving your kids instructions before you turn them loose into a dangerous world. If nothing else, you want to be sure that your phone’s location setting is turned off. Why, you ask? Because I’ve “seen” plenty of people get hurt, robbed, even killed because they were so easy to track. It may sound like the plot of a psycho-thriller movie (and I’m sure there’s one about it somewhere out there), but it’s as real as the crime rate in Chicago.
And for what it’s worth, social media sites offer the same personal availability, so you better watch your backs while you are tweeting recklessly to total strangers or bragging about how well your two-week, out-of-state vacation is going.
