Hej folkens.
Ville blive rigtigt glad hvis nogen ville læse det jeg har skrevet og give lidt kommentarer. Teksten er et resume af en længere tekst om GPS. Med kommentarer mener jeg ikke at i skal rette den, men et par gode råd om ting der lyder dårligt osv. Ville være dejlige.
På forhånd tak :)
The GPS as we now it today may be obsolete in just a few years. Today the GPS system is owned an operated by the US military this acts as a major barrier to commercial use. The US owned GPS system got 24 satellites orbiting the Earth while continually emitting time signals that can be converted into locations by receivers on the ground. The problem for companies is that the positions they get are less accurate than those used by the military. Also, the receivers have problems in getting a signal in build op areas. This means that with only a few specialised markets such as sailing and mountaineering, the only thing close to a mass market GPS solution is the car navigation. The successor to this system is called Galileo. Galileo is a European project. It is designed to be more accurate, powerful and reliable than the GPS. Galileo got 30 satellites and I will also incorporate the GPS signals, this means almost double the size of the system. The biggest and most significant difference however, is that Galileo will be purely owned and operated as a commercial enterprise.
Some organisations are concerned about privacy. Some fear that Galileo will be like Big Brother. But the idea that Galileo is going to be a kind of Big Brother is misconception. You can always choose not to carry the receiver then you’re invisible. (233 words)

Back again:)
Nu har vores lære så udbygget opgave lidt til at omfatte at vi skal kommentere på denne sætning: "The ability to track objects and people brings all kind of applications to mind, but it also creats concerns about privacy and civil liberties. There have been suggestions that Galileo will be like Big Brother"
Håber der er en venlig sjæl der lige ville kigge på min besvarelse:)
I don’t think Galileo is going to be the next generation Big Brother, you can always choose not to carry the receiver then you’re totally invisible to the satellites. But who is supposed to be watching you, the government? Why should the government us there resources to look over your shoulders? The only reason that the government should be interested in you is if you are breaking the law, and now one forces you to break the law. Much more likely is that people in general will start spying on one another, overprotective parents wanting to keep tabs on there teenage children, for example. There’s always a chance of course, that you governments will force you to carry a receiver under certain circumstances. The Department for Transport that got there headquarter in UK has already said that it would like to use the new Galileo system to track cars, motorbikes etc. so it can levy tax based on where and when you travel on the road. The main thing you are going to be worried about as a normal law abiding citizen is properly not the government and the intelligence service but commercials companies. Some commercial companies already announced services that may be intrusive and irritation. One of the many ideas, for example, is to offer people cell phones with Galileo-enabled and pre-configured in return for the rights to track there locations. The companies can then use the locations to send messages to a potential customers when near one of there stores.
