GPS – little spy or little helper?
by Natalia Holvova

GPS tracking device is now installed in more and more governmental of official business cars. The reason is faster and easier efficiency of vehicles. GSP is not just navigation system that can help drivers to find the shortest way and help them in case they get lost, GPS can also monitor if there is some inappropriate use of the car. That means that employers can watch their employees and see the purpose they use the company cars for. Even though the results of using GPS in public cars are very positive, brought reducing of the gas use and less kilometers driven and higher working discipline of drivers, people are complaining. People who are always watched feel unfree and dependent. They also feel like loosing huge part of their individuality and dignity. It seems like a Big brother tactic what nobody likes. Is more important feat or satisfaction? Every single employer would like to have people who will do their best and will be able to fulfill working position. On the other hand no one wish to have employee who is obviously unhappy and consequently not able to work properly. Rules need to be set though. Without authority there is no order! If it comes to watching people we need to be very gentle and careful. What if one day we are the one who is watched? No one wants to loose their private life but we can take an advantage of GPS using with fairness and make from little spy, little helper for everyone.
