101 Problems caused by POKEMON GO in one week

Pokemon Go hit the U.S. Market less than a week ago and has created a fury of excited, rage, and concern among other things.

Lets start with problem 1. PRIVACY
This APP saves information. What kind of information you wonder? Well just about everything. Where you go, when you went there, how long you spent, how you got there, and who else is around you. Besides the usual information based on GPS, the APP also may collect your email address, your username, you location and IP address, and the web page you were using before logging on. The problem with this information may not cause concern for you, but the company that owns Pokemon Go can also sell/share this information to third party services, including other for profit companies or even law enforcement.

IF you logged in with Google account using iOS and unless you specifically revoke the same, the company has access to your entire Google Account. It can literally read and write access to your email, Docs, calendar, etc.

Although people working on Pokemon Go are working on fixing the above security.

Problem 2. Security.
The amount of people playing this game makes Pokemon Go a real target, since already 5% of all android users in the U.S. downloaded the game. Hackers were surely attempt to breach and obtain all that valuable information.

Problem 3. Augmented Reality better than Real Life: DRIVING and Catchin’ them all
Huge problem with catching pokemon causes people to stir away from the reality we are in. People are getting into accidents trying to catch PIKACHU.

The ironic thing is that it says remember to be alert at all times and stay aware of your surroundings, while the image is of a person looking down at the phone.

Problem 4. Crossing streets while playing Pokemon Go

Problem 5. TRESPSS. Don’t go onto other people’s yards.

Problem 6. Do not look creepy by taking pictures of random people’s houses.

Problem 7. Too much game time and not much work. Do not play while working.

Problem 8. Be careful of lakes, pools, and water in general.

Problem 9. Bad people are already taking advantage of Pokemon Go players. Be aware and watch your surroundings.

Problem 10. Battery Low.

Problem 11. Data usage. If you have a limited Data Plan, be aware of the amount of data pokemon go is going to take.

Please do not think that this game is not fun. It is SOOOOO much fun, but just be careful and watch where you going.

Thanks for reading.
