Does New Technology Actually Increase Crime?

By Jamin Greensbury at 03/06/08 16:56

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.

Cell Phones Are Now Treated As Bombs?

We just had an incident at the Kickapoo Area High School. Some students were caught with vulgar and disgusting videos on their cell phones. Now these students have screwed the rest of us over. Since only a handful of students were caught with the videos, the entire student populace has to suffer. Cell phone usage is now strictly illegal and if you're caught with one, then may God have mercy on you. If you resist a teacher who is taking your phone from you, you could be given criminal charges.

So now that phones are the most illegal item in our school, you'd think that other things would be more important. Like smoking at school or other electronic devices for example. I can still run through the halls with my iPod raised shouting "iPod!" and not get in as much trouble as holding my phone and not even using it. If you have a phone, you pretty much have a bomb at the KAHS.
