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.
Problem 14: Pokemon Go Luring Kids Off Cliffs
Haha nice one ;)
Problem 12. Everyone playing Pokemon Go isn't on Steemit casting votes.
Can someone please do a problem 13. Thats hilarious!
Problem 13.
My friend lives in a "luxery apartment" in LA, and some rich guy keeps posting "poke traps" or what not.... and people sneak into the garage to reach them. Came down yesterday to find a group of 5 people leaning on my girlfriends car.... playing pokemon
Problem 15. Everytime I see an abra my phone freezes :/
EDIT:
Problem 16. I cant count apparently
Omg that's really funny. I am glad people are actually walking in LA! Nobody seems to walk, everyone wants/needs to drive.
Sorry about your GF's car. Put a sign "POKEMON GO AWAY"
The local hospital in my town just posted a Facebook post yesterday informing the people of the town that Pikachu is not at any of the hospital facilities and that playing Pokemon Go there is prohibited! LOL!
I upvoted you.
