Does New Technology Actually Increase Crime?

I read an article today talking about how iPods could be starting a new crime wave. It doesn't seem that serious, but crime has increased ever since the iPod first came out onto the market. Maybe its because the iPods are easy to steal and then sell on the black market. Many people would buy a iPod that has hundreds of songs on it already for cheaper prices. This new movement seems to be called the iCrime Wave, but is it really just the iPod that's making all this trouble?

It certaintly could be the iPod. Many pay more money for this device just to say they have one. The iPod has become more of a fashion item in today's world. You don't even have to have songs on it, you just need the look of the iPod. That's why they're such a hot item right now, and that doesn't look like its about to change. Keep your iPod safe, it may get stolen. But if it does, you could nuy it back $50 cheaper on the black market.
