Description

So a friend of mine just sent off his first born to college. And everything was fine for awhile, until a buddy of his -- whose daughter happened to be rooming with my friend's daughter -- sent him an email with too much information -- most of it gleaned from his daughter's facebook account, and most of it containing info about my friend's daughter too. Info that my friend probably didn't need to know.

Because he's a father, and he worries.

The father with his finger on the facebook account decided he needed to know more about what was going on -- so he sent his daughter a new phone -- it's a lot like this one. Cool new features, but most importantly: a GPS tracker. So now he always knows where his daughter is. Only she doesn't know that he knows.

And my friend is thinking of sending his daughter one too.

I'm not endorsing the tactic: I'm just telling the story. (via Engadget)
