Geotracking and e-Discovery
Do you consider yourself stealth-like? Hard to predict? An international person of mystery? Many of us would like to believe we are not creatures of habit, and that we can avoid the prying eyes of the world. However, technology is making our moves more apparent to those around us. Today's technology business is all about gathering information about the end-user. What are your habits? What things do you like? What places do you frequent?

Someone else is using his iPhone as a GPS to navigate to an unknown location, perhaps leveraging Google maps, which now exposes specific office, store or restroom locations inside of buildings (see, www.wired.com/gadgetlab/tag/indoor-mapping). All of this geotracking information is being stored ' in an easily accessible format, no less ' and is available long after it disappears from a user's screen.
