Overview[]
This report on location technologies and their social impact is inspired by the recent advent of real-time tracking technologies that create new concerns for Canadians and for Canadian policy provisions. As location technologies are becoming increasingly important in the early twenty-first century, citizens and policy makers need to prepare for the likely outcomes of this new technology.
The report's findings are timely because they outline the potential significance and consequences of location technologies just as political, economic, social and cultural pressures are beginning to stimulate the growth of markets in tracking devices.
