GPS and Being Stalked by AI

   Today we did a quick lesson on GPS and their uses. GPS stands for global positioning system, and it accurately determines the precise location of something on Earth. Satellites are positioned, and tracking stations use up to four satellites to determine an object position. A receiver can figure out the distances between the four satellites, and calculate their precise positions in space. GPS technology is used in cars, by pilots of airplanes, and by captains of ships. We got on to the discussion of companies constantly knowing where you are, and where that data goes. Then, we talked about Alexa and Google Home, and how they are constantly listening to us. We ended the class talking about sites like Ancestry. com and how they have your DNA and can do whatever they want with it. They could even... make clones of us!
