we all know the game Pingpong, probably we all played it at least once in our life. Now with the iphone, ping pong has a new meaning. The application that is used is Loopt.
This is an application that you can register for, when you do that people can "track" you down from their iphone. When you ping somebody, you can find out where their iphone, and so the person, is at that moment. The person that got pinged needs to pong the sender back to let them know that they can receive the information.
How scary and creepy is that! My friend and I tested it yesterday. A girl on our team said she was on our way to my friend's house, it took her a long time so my friend decided to ping her. Her car was at Kroger, we were like " huh, why would she go to kroger". When she got to my friend's house, she got really excited and said she had a surprise for us. The surprise was that she got ice cream, but we already figured out that it was gonna be food because she went to kroger.
I don't think I would register for that application because it's like somebody is watching you all the time, just like Big Brother. I'm a person that needs her privacy and freedom. Even though they are my friends, I still don't want them to know where I'm at all the time....
