Here comes a tracking device that many parents would surely like to possess to keep a track of their children while working! Keep a check on where your teenager child is, in a second with one sci-fi gadget - Wherifone - a satellite-based tracking device based on Global Positioning System (G.P.S.) technology.
The super-simplified gadget, priced at $100 is made especially for very young or old customers. With no number pad, it’s probably the smallest cell phone one has ever seen! It’s just about the size of a Fig Newton.
What you have to do is, just program three of its four speed-dial buttons to dial Mom, Dad or Jim on the company’s Web site. And, when you have to pinpoint the phone’s location, –
1. call up the Web site,
2. enter your password,
3. click ‘locate,’ and presto: an icon appears on a map!
This icon is either a street map or actual satellite photo. It is in the photo view; you can zoom in enough to see individual buildings! Checking a phone’s location counts as one minute per calling, this child-locating plan ranges from $20 a month (60 minutes of talking) to $47 (200 minutes).
