GPS tracking device article

I read an article about a similar topic recently in a magazine. However, something aboout that article seemed a lot more biaised...towards teenagers at least. You see, it was in a teen magazine...which is probably why the article was taking the side of how bad this GPS tracking technology is. Then, the artcle we read in class seemed more targeted towards taking the side of our parents. The author made the teenager quoted in the article somewhat arrogant and obnoxious sounding. As if she was complaining overly on something reasonable. So it was interesting to see two sides of the situtation.
In my opinion, the tracking device is a good thing--as long as parents aren't using it as a secret way of spying on you. On the other hand, it's a way to keep you from lying to your parents, on your toes, and not getting into mischief. So what's the problem? As long as you don't plan on totally disobeying your parents and your family's morals, shouldn't you not have to worry about your parents knowing where you are? On the weekdays, from morning to mid-afternoon you're at school. After school, you decide to hang out with some friends and you let your parents know. It's not like it's not their business to not know that you're going to go to some unappropriate place you shouldn't be at...because you aren't supposed to in the first place...right?
Maybe it's just me, but I think the gps tracking device/idea is pretty useful technology. It'll prevent problems and make you think twice before making a potentially bad choice. =]
