The ubiquitous nature of mobile phones today brings tremendous convenience to our lives, but
will misuse of new improvements to this technology result in the loss of that convenience? For
instance, camera phones are now banned in many fitness centers, park restrooms, and other simi-
lar facilities because some people have used them inappropriately to take compromising photos,
and mobile phones are banned in many classrooms because of the disruption of constant text
messaging and the use of the phone by dishonest students to cheat on exams. Do you think these
reactions to mobile phone misuse are justified? Is there another way to ensure the appropriate use
of mobile phones without banning their use for all individuals? Should there be more stringent
consequences for those who use technology for illegal or unethical purposes?
