Before we worry about these potential dangers of location services, let’s take a look at how it works. The location data maintained by our phones are potentially a threat to our security. Although this is incredibly convenient, there is a tradeoff our phones monitor where we are at all times (Henry, 2013). We are told where the nearest restaurants are, what the weather is and how far from home we are. One big development over the last few years is location services. How much information about ourselves should we be willing to release to technology? However, as with all advances in technology, the question of convenience versus security arises. With continually increasing power in our smart phones, there is increased information at the tips of our fingers.
