Geolocation on Your Mobile Network

Is that what you're wearing to lunch?
They know where we are!
Who, aliens?
No, but I heard that every time your phone is on, your network knows where you are
because your phone is talking to the mobile tower.
Well, that hat isn't going to help you.
If you want your phone to stop communicating with the towers, just take the battery out.
That seems simple.
All right, are you still hungry?
Yeah, let's go!
Great, I have this new app that will let us find the closest restaurant
and then it will narrate directions for us using GPS.
That sounds great.
Oh no!
What?
I just remembered:
when you use GPS, it's even more accurate than the towers
so they'll really know where we are.
Just be smart about when you use it.
No one care if you're going to lunch. If you're going to do something that you don't want tracked,
just turn the GPS off on your phone.
All right, let's go!
Perfect! But maybe take that hat off first.
