Last month, New York witnessed cab drivers’ strike.

A protest against a city rule that cabs be equipped with GPS.

Popular contention among others is that GPS is overly intrusive.

It might be possible that such protests are driven by vested interests.

Nonetheless, the privacy issues cannot be ignored.

Many feel that technology is spilling into the zone of privacy.

At times, in the name of evolving better systems.

No doubt, the potential of the technology should be unleashed.

However, it has limitations and limits too.
