Google Latitude will retrieve the common goals of current technology and further them to the point of reality. The Internet, social networking cites, and programs like Skype all have the objective of facilitating contact between people which otherwise would have been a difficult task. But the recurring theme with all of these technologies is that they become all absorbing, threatening to damage the very contact for which they were made.
This is where Google Latitude differs, for it encourages actual human contact with an Internet barrier in between. Borrowing elements from the GPS and tracker systems while using the cell phone as a host from which to operate, Goggle Latitude is able to effectively combine the goals of social Internet networking with the technologies of the GPS and cell phones and, abiding by the laws of convenience, enable physical contact between users.
