THEY KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!
The device in your purse or jeans that you think is a cellphone – guess again. It is a tracking device that happens to make calls.It was recently disclosed that cellphone carriers responded 1.3 million times last year to law enforcement requests for call data. That’s not even a complete count, because T-Mobile, one of the largest carriers, refused to reveal its numbers. AT&T has a staff of over 100 people handling requests for information.
These devices are also taking note of what we buy, where and when we buy it, how much money we have in the bank, whom we text and e-mail, what internet sites we visit, how and where we travel, what time we go to sleep and wake up – and more. Much of that data is shared with companies that use it to offer us services they think we want.

Living in the technological age. They also help EMS find you when a drunk driver hits you broadside at 60mph since due to the blow, you have no idea where you are. (That is from personal experience, for the record.) Took them forever (it seemed), but it was 10 yrs ago, too, so… technology wasn’t where it is now.
