Camera Phone Captures Subway Flasher
Communications technology isn't as sexy as, say, lasers or flyin' cars, but it's certainly having some interesting and important effects on our society.
First of all, it save a great deal of time -- a very precious commodity. In Japan, phones are common with GPS built into them, so if you need to find your way to a bar or restaurant or residence, you can just enter the address, and the phone will actually plot you a map to getting there. From your current address to the door you're looking for.
And it seems that all these cameras are going to put a serious dent into street crime, too. Sure will make prosecutions a hell of a lot easier-- hard to argue with a photograph showing you with your wee-wee out.
Dad? Dad?!?!
