Cellphones, as a remote control of life

As has been reported yesterday, modern cellphones are expected to mature into ‘remote control of life’. In the story of missing CNet editor James Kim proved it was already the case.
“While other technologies such as global positioning system, or GPS navigation, may help people find their way out of trouble, it does little to help when people are stranded on the side of the road like the Kims were.
[…] Few people carry them on road trips. And even though satellite tracking technology exists, even fewer people are likely to consent to having their whereabouts tracked on a daily basis in the off chance that they might get lost on a backcountry road.
[…] At the end of the day, the technology that has proved the most valuable for locating lost or missing people has been cellular phones.”
