I JUST JOINED THE POKE PACK

I was just outside and saw about a dozen people wandering around my neighborhood with their phones in their hands. I say wandering, not walking and I now know why thanks to my wife. Apparently, everyone is playing the new Pokemon Go game and it doesn’t discriminate between young or old.

There I was at 7 p.m. I just got home from work and was going to retrieve my mail from my mailbox when I saw some kids lingering at the side of my yard along the tree-line. I was about to yell, “Hey you kids! Get off my lawn!” when I turned and saw several others in the same vicinity. Then, I look down the street and see two more kids and their mom mulling around my neighbor’s front yard. All of them had their smartphones in their hands. That’s when my wife came to the door and told me what was going on.

She told me that the Pokemon Go app just launched this month, along with a cell phone spy elite software, and it’s become a summer phenomenon. It’s some kind of scavenger hunt where you have to find some crazy critters that appear on your phone over the camera view so that when you look at your iPhone, one of those things looks like its standing in your yard—like some monstrous leprechaun. Apparently, everyone is loving it.

The game is based on the Pokemon game and characters that were popular back in the 1990s. Whoever revived it this way is some kind of genius if you ask me. I went to Wikipedia to look it up and it said, “’Pokémon Go’ (stylized as Pokémon GO) is a free-to-play location-based augmented reality mobile game developed by Niantic and published by The Pokémon Company as part of the Pokémon franchise. It was released in July 2016 for iOS and Android devices…. The game allows players to capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, who appear throughout the real world. It makes use of GPS and the camera of compatible devices.”

Apparently, players start by making their own avatars—which they can customize—and then go out in the real world, phones in hand, to hunt down other ’Pokémon creations. Now, I’m no Spring chicken, but even I think that’s pretty cool. So I went and downloaded the app on my phone—yes I have an iPhone—and started hunting as well. I can’t tell you how much fun I’m having—not to mention, I’m starting to meet a bunch of the neighbors that I never really knew too well. Now I’m part of a Poke-pack made up of little kids, moms and dads, teens and older folk like myself. I don’t think I’ve had this much fun in years! You gotta love this modern world. Just when you think you’ve seen everything, then there’s this.

However, I’ve heard about kids being robbed by thieves waiting at popular Poke sites, which got me thinking about how important it is for parents to either accompany them everywhere or install one of those cell phone spy equipment apps or cell phone spy dialer software I always hear about so that they can check up on them.

A Cell Phone Spy App Can Save Your Life

Most people wouldn't think that a cell phone tracker app would be able to actually save their lives but they would be wrong in their assumptions. Why the ordinary person might think that this software is just for spying, there are situations where this software can and has saved a person's life.

Each day, people encounter situations that they might never think they would be exposed to. And in those situations, the ability to get help quickly usually means the difference between survival and death. Many people have died because those that we able to help them just couldn't reach them in time. I know that you might be thinking “That could never happen to me”, but consider some of the following situations and how cell phone tracker software could help.

Many people explore the many natural wonders of our country each day. They camp in wooded areas and they hike mountain ranges. And most of them carry all of the equipment that they feel they will need. A valuable piece of equipment that few people carry is an emergency beacon.  An emergency beacon will send out a signal that law enforcement, fire and EMS personnel can hear.  Through that signal, they can locate a person in distress and render aid.  But many people feel that they only need their smartphone and that is a mistake unless they have some form of tracking software. Why? Well despite our dependence on cellular communications, there are still places in this country that have poor cellular reception.  If you get lost, you can't call for help.  But if someone can look at the software on your phone, they could send help to the last location listed and that could bring needed help. 

Social media has allowed us to communicate with people that we might not have ordinarily gotten the chance to communicate with. And people often meet people in real life that they met on social media. But what if the person that you met is not the person that you expected.  They could kidnap, rape or even murder you.  That isn't a pleasant thought but it happens every day.  If someone could look at your social media communications, they could find clues to who the person was that you possibly met.  You could live to tell your experience because of monitoring software.  

The situations that I have listed are not things that just happen in the movies, in books or on television. They happen each and every day to ordinary people just like you. People that never thought that they would end up lost in the woods, or in the clutches of a kidnapper or sexual predator.  “It's always someone else” they say. When you are the person instead of it being someone else, you think differently. And you wonder if you could have done something differently to change your situation.  You can do something.  You can consider a cell phone spy elite tracker software like Surepoint Spy for you and your family.  That software might actually save your life or the life of someone you love.
