<p dir="ltr">If anything, technology exercebates bad behaviour for the already badly behaved.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Kiriamiti, with a gun, could walk to a bank and steal a sack-full of money. With modern technology, you can steal a truck load without leaving your bedroom and not think twice that Kiriamiti served 20yrs in prison.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Before mobile technology, if you had a problem with someone, you walked upto them and had a one-one talk. Today, you just send them insults on txt and before we know it we are crafting laws to protect us online.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Not long ago we had two politicians put digital cameras in their hotel rooms and record their escapades which ended up being plastered infront of their families.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That woman(the on in the VW) will learn,and quickly, the advantages of a Digital camera on her vehicle.</p>
