According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, article titled, "Stanford U. Unveiled iPhone Application That Will Soon Let Students Locate Each Other". A couple of Stanford University students created an iPhone program that will enable students to find each other on a GPS-like network (with the students' permission). In the future, I wonder will professors be able track our truant students down via iphone when they choose not to come to class. Interesting concept!
Thought provoking questions:
a) Will this program increase the number of reported student stalkings of each other on college campuses?
b) Since most students are engrossed in facebook and myspace, will these GPS-like programs result in more student to student, face-to-face contact?
c) Will more student choose to purchase iPhones?
