I recently finished writing a paper on VSAT for a engineering technology course I am taking at the Chicago University Howard near downtown. While I don’t plan on pursuing a career in satellite telecommunications, I found it fascinating as I have often struggled with how to process credit cards in remote tradeposts in Africa while I was a missionary for our synagogue in the 1920′s. While making trades and recording the transaction for such a time when credit cards would be invented was a possibility, it was much more practical to use a Very Small Aperture Terminal or VSAT and simply beam the transaction forward into the future with automatic interest calculation making me a trillionare in years hence.

GPS tracking key could help to solve the murder case, here is one story.

“Back in July, George Ford was arrested in Chenango County for the death of a 12-year-old girl. Ford was charged with reckless endangerment. However, authorities discovered there was a global positioning system in his car. The device is called a tracking key. Ford’s wife put it in his truck, because she suspected he was having an affair. Based on the information taken from the tracking key, Ford was charged with murder.”

The vice president of the Land Air Sea Systems have showed up before Jury to test the accuracy of the GPS tracking key, he mentioned that it is accurate to 2.5 meters around the subject.

I also know that some of the rental car companies are using the gps tracking system in their cars, so when the customer was not being honest about if they will be driving out of the state, they could be caught when they return the car and get a big penalty charge.

Even when the big spaceship dropped a few years ago in Texas, people were using the GPS device to document where the items are found so later on it will be easy for the scientist to figure out the problem with the space ship.

I am sure that the most use of the GPS tracking systems will be parents of the teenagers, we all know there are lots of crazy people and things out there, so not only does the parents want to check the scores at the school, but also they want to know where their kids at any period of time.

While I was a teenager, I likes to play the computer games a lot. I mean a lot, at that time, the games are not this sophisticated, the one game that I like a lot is called the Tank, you use your tank to fight with the enemy tanks, and also you have to protect your home. I love to play this game with my mom together, and then each of us would stand in one row and shooting at the enemies. I like to play some new games too but I still miss that game.

I took Elizabeth to the park yesterday, the weather is so beautiful and wet, maybe I used to live in San Francisco, I really like wet weather, as then I would not feel so dry everywhere. But anyway, there was nobody at the park, but on the ice rink there were lots of people, I was wondering why, then we found out there was a private party on it. There were a few girls could ice skate very elegantly. It was very nice just to watch them. I kept on telling Elizabeth to watch too, hopefully she could be one of them.
