Predicting our movements with our cellphones

TFP: Researchers have come up with an algorithm that can predict where you will go in the future, based on your cellphone location activity. (Hi-tech)

Sounds scary, but people still have the choice to disable location services. The problem will arise when they start to use location data captured on the telecoms level.

lol are u stupid? just because u turn off location services dosnt mean it still cant track you, it says on ur phone its off dont mean its off on their end, btw have u searched about something called 'trapwire' if u havnt google it mate and i bet u didnt even know they would be doing that shit!!

Did I not say that? In the second line? Do you need glasses to read?

It all depends on who is capturing your data. If a marketing company is using telecom data, then clearly something is wrong because they would have be using data captured only by that when location services are turned on. Trapwire is a somewhat different scenario which goes down to the telecoms level.

This is quite disturbing but not wholly unpredictable. Our mobile communication devices, our leashes. Technology is a two edged sword and very sharp, indeed.
