I love the name of this new service from Verizon -- "Chaperone". Heh. That's a good one, and it's light way of saying, "here's a service that will let parents track the infinite details of their kids travails". From a teenager's perspective, this is Orwellian. From a parent's perspective, this lets them keep their paranoia on tap at all times.Chaperone basically is a "child locator" service that is more aimed at smaller children than teenagers, although with the Motorola RAZR V3c being a compatible device, I don't see too many eight year-olds sporting a RAZR on the playground. The prices of this service, ranging from $9.99 to $19.99 per month, sound about just right, although a tad overpriced if you ask me.
