When you’re a kid, dropping a letter in the mailbox knowing that it will end up across the country or across the world in a matter of days feels almost like magic – it’s hard to even comprehend how those men in blue do it. Of course, with age and experience comes wisdom, and with it, a little bit of bitterness as well. After getting burned by the mail with late, mysteriously damaged, and missing letters enough times, that childhood wonder can warp into a slightly more jaded sense of wonder: just what are they doing with my stuff, anyway?

ATP Photo Finder GPS Geotagger
For anyone who has ever sifted through old photo albums trying to use “some trees in the woods” or “some buildings in a city” as a reference point to figure out where a particular photo was snapped, geotagging technology is a godsend. Geotagging records the physical location where a photo was taken alongside the actual photo data, creating a record of exactly where on the planet you were standing when you took each shot. When plugged into the right tools, it’s like pinning every photo in your collection up to an enormous map.
PocketFinder
With the flurry of news reports chronicling how cell phones distract kids in school, video games make them more violent, and Internet chat rooms open them up to predators, it might be refreshing for parents to hear (and disappointing for sensational journalists to learn) that gadgetry is finally doing something to make their kids safer – or at least easier to keep an eye on.
The PocketFinder portable GPS personal locater from Location Based Technologies is basically a tracking bug for your kids. No, you don’t have to implant it in them at birth or covertly slap it under a car with a magnetic harness like in spy movies, it’s just a small, cookie-sized plastic device for them to voluntarily carry around at the request of Mom and Dad.
