Extension Questions for Group A I am investigating where the technology of GPS is heading in the future with children being monitored through GPS tracking. I have done a whole research paper on it. I have chosen to interview you for additional information which will guide me through concluding my research paper.

 1. How reliable is this technology? Have here been any cases where this technology has failed? What were the implications?  2. Is this technology limited to only developed nations? How long will it take to spread globally?  3. Where is this technology going in the future? Will it be used in other devices other than mobile phones? Any predicted statistical evidence of where this technology is heading?  4. How do you think the children feel being monitored every second? Is there any evidence to support your opinion?  5. Do you think kids would be more content with having their parents receiving SMS’s that there kids are in a safe pre-determined area rather than having the exact location being monitored all the time?  6. The fact that parents are abdicating their parental duties, what impact would this have on the new generation?  7. How would this technology have an impact on the way children make their choices in the future of where to go?  8. If parents give their children the right to ask if they wish to be monitored, do you think the child can misuse their freedom later on?

Sort of people to interview: A GPS operator working in a mobile phone firm. A possible parent who uses a GPS tracker (to support the GPS) A parents who is inexperienced with the GPS tracker, yet knows about how the GPS tracker works. (who doesn’t support it)
