Etymology
'non-location-based' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the phrase 'location-based', where 'location' refers to a specific place and 'based' means 'dependent on'.
The term 'non-location-based' evolved from the increasing need for services and technologies that are not tied to a specific geographical location.
Initially, it referred to services not tied to a specific place, and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
