Having two teenagers this summer promises to be a challenge for many reasons. They are both going to be very busy and mostly moving in opposite directions. Cell phones are all well and good, but somehow I feel like I want more.

I have started to research GPS units to keep track of my boys. Don’t laugh! It’s true! I don’t think I’m too over-protective. I just want to know where they are when they aren’t home. This world is not such a nice place anymore.

Anyway, I found one that looks interesting. It’s called GTX Corp. This is a very small GPS unit that can be live tracked on Google maps on any device that is connected to the internet. Actually, it’s much more than that, though. What is special about this unit is that it has the technology to be embedded into different items thus making it so easy to utilized. How about shoes, backpacks, pet collars…the possibilities are pretty endless. They are negotiating with shoe makers right now and hope to have this technology in place by the end of 2008.

It’s just amazing where technology is taking us.
