I’ve seen a few questions on the internet, complaints even that census workers are traveling around and doing their job with a GPS in hand.

People are asking questions like – Why does the government need to know the GPS coordinates of my front door?

I think everybody is getting a little paranoid! I’m almost certain that the government isn’t going to send some drone out with the coordinates for your front door to do whatever they do with drones.

It’s more like this – the government is tracking their workers! With the data that’s logged by the GPS the government can make sure that the worker traveled to every place that s/he was supposed to go. The government can also view the amount of time spent gathering data as well.

Next time the government wants to do a census they’ll be better ‘armed’ and be able to streamline the process as well.

So don’t be paranoid! You can put your tinfoil hat away for another day.
