"That's No Phone. that's My Tracker", by Peter Maass and Megha Rajagopalan explain how all the technology in our "phones" are used to track us and extract infromation. From that right there I already knew that it tracked my location and you can gather information with the stuff I input into it. People know that there phones do these certain things, for developers to know how to make our life's easier they look at certain things that would be convient for us to use. For most of the people have iPhone have there privacy location settings on. That tracks you in your general use of the phone. It also organizes things based on your location, like your photos,posts, tweets etc... 
       On the name of the device itself will stay phone until some high tech new invention comes in, that wipes the phone generation away. Smart phone is still a phone, they just call it a smart phone because all of the new things it lets you explore and how it is a multimedia advice. You understand your phone to the extent that you want to use it, but to that extent you don't to changing the name of the device. It is something that doesn't throw the thing off completely or degrade the true functionbilty of it.
