According to the model of Maslow's hierarchy of needs until a
lower level need is not satisfied we don't strive to fulfill any
higher level needs. Unlike the majority of internet based
services managing information related to levels 3, 4, 5
(belongingness/love, esteem, self-actualization), a location
based service (LBS) manages information strongly related to
Maslow 2nd level needs (security).<p>Like all models the Maslow model has to have errors. My question
is possibly related to this error:<p>Privacy of physical location is strongly related to security.
Assuming your were to use a a genuinely useful LBS, if you _had
to prioritize_ what would your priorities be, usefulness or
privacy? Can you imagine any scenario where a higher level need
would override any security related need? If yes, can you
describe such a scenario or possibly more?
