BBC NEWS | Magazine | The camera phone backlash

BBC NEWS Magazine The camera phone backlash

This is an interesting article about how mobile phones with cameras are being linked to industrial espionage.

The article discusses some of the views that these types of phones should be banned or be forced to make a noise when used. It would appear that certain groups would like to see the removal of the feature completely.

Although I have no real desire for a camera on my phone - although I do use it as a camera - my only concern is that could this action slow down future development of the technology..?

It has appeared that since the digital camera has been developed it was introduced to mobile phones very quickly. This was on the pretence that one day you will be able to take to someone face-to-face via a telephone. Although this is possible - I really do not know anyone who actually does this, in fact this is more commonly done via the internet where costs are a lot cheaper.

As the introduction of WiMAX and wireless enabled mobile phones then the ability to communicate person-to-person via a mobile phone is finally realised.

Till next time

Vis.
