People love technology, and by love, we mean that they abuse it to bits. Most devices are made to do plenty of things –take smart phones for example: the handset is designed to take calls, make messages, write emails, go online, play media and do plenty of other things. But when the basic functions are not enough, people go on an out-of-the-box mode and try their best to make devices do more than they should, and as an estranged couple from Walsall has realized, the average mobile handset can be more dangerous than what one might think it to be.
Right off the bat, it has to be pointed out that at this point in time, Mr. Gora has not admitted that he has actually rigged the Bluetooth handset on his ex-wife’s car device, but that has not stopped the woman from making a case in court.
According to the testimony, Mrs. Gora states that her former husband has used a mobile phone as an accessory for “bugging” her car –recording her private conversations with her family and personal friends. These conversations covered very sensitive topics and as such, Mrs. Gora is seeking that the court would order the tapes of these conversations be destroyed.
However, Mrs. Gora’s ex husband is denying that he has made such tapes. The man did testify that he only claimed that he did, to her (most apparently to spite the woman), but he has never actually done so.
While technology is not inherently evil; nor are machines intentionally out to get us, there is nothing wrong about being a little careful about what one does with one’s own personal belongings. Phones and computers often have password settings and other important features that help people restrict others from tampering with the software. At the same time, simple things like full case coverings, decals and other accessories discourage other people from tampering with the device itself.
