Camera Phones in the News

Kitsune · 02-12-2004, 10:40 AM

Camera phones usually get a bad rap, but they can be used for good.

I was a little surprised to find my old high school principal made the headlines -- I never thought I would hear about him again, especially not in this way.

And people worry about gays being in schools...sheesh.

I'd rather use a 9mm. No self portraits.

They'd be useful in Iraq. I read a suggestion that when our troops are in crowded civilian situations and take on fire, they should shoot back with cameras. Snipers or Iraqi cops can take care of business later with no "collateral damage."

No cell phones or sunglasses on the desk in classrooms now. People were photographing the tests and selling them.

Ahh, for the good old days, when we'd memorize the tests to sell the answers.

I'm sure the teachers would be happy to have this rule adopted.
