Yeah I'm sure I sound like a grumpy old man, but we sure have traded our privacy for convenience/safety/etc.
My wife suggested I install this Life360 app on my phone. She already uses it to track our teen daughter. She gets dings and such when daughter gets to school, gets home, etc. She apparently likes knowing, but I really don't feel the need. She takes the bus, and the bus stop is like 25 feet from our house. She's a good kid, responsible, etc.
So anyway back to me...
I checked out this app and I'm like, "Eh, I don't think I want this."
I mean, we already have "Find My iPhone" on our phones, so if someone really wants to see where someone else is located, they can tap in there and see.
But this Life360 thing takes it so much farther; it shows your whereabouts from location to location for the last 48 hours, it shows how fast you drive, it can be set up to "ding" when a user leaves or arrives at a certain place like school or work. I just think it's TOO much, especially for an adult, but perhaps even for a kid. I mean, just because we CAN pry this much into others' lives doesn't mean we SHOULD.
I really don't want to be nagged if I head in for a quick (bad for me) McDonalds snack, or take a two-hour lunch with friends, or even if I leave work 30 minutes early. Isn't there any room for privacy in a marriage? Or will people always come back with the knee jerk, "Well if you aren't hiding anything, why object to it?" questions.
Thoughts?
