Small business who would like to benefit from GPS tracking will feel the weight on their pocket books even more since they generally have less profits and less capital with which to absorb the initial and reoccurring costs. Small business will benefit from the information that GPS tracking can provide about the position of vehicles because it will help them learn about employee performance - an important element of small business success.

The Information Age allows us to read breaking news, review up-to-the-minute stock-market information and check on the status of our bank account–all on demand. We take for granted the ability to find what we want to know when we want to know it.

The concept of a constant flow of information through precise, up-to-the-minute notification is accepted by a majority of society. Having our email forwarded to our cell phones is another example of how ‘connected’ we are today.
