Pokemon Go

Eli is still out catching Pokemon. He had some friends spend the night last week. They slipped out of the house at 1:00 AM to go to the park a block away to go catch Pokemon. I guess he got his love for Pokemon from Chris. At the age of 4 Chris was already infatuated with Pokemon.

NOW .......... for the rest of the story!
Here is what they say about downloading the App that you might not know:

Anyone who signed up for Pokémon GO with a Google account (the other option, a Pokémon.com account, is unavailable right now) has perhaps unknowingly given Nintendo and developer Niantic (formerly owned by Google, but still part of Google’s investment portfolio) full account access. That means they can see/edit/collect just about anything related to your Google account. Emails, photos, documents, all of your past location and search history: it can see all of this stuff, from even before you started using the app. It can also send emails as you—kind of the number one, red flag, alarm bell hacker opportunity in the digital world, aside from banking.
Maybe people should slow down a little bit before they get too crazy about this game?
