The Rising Problems and Issues of Camera PhonesCommunication Age

This wiki is a research of the issues that come along with camera phones. The camera phone takes voyeurism, corporate espionage, and cheating to a new technological level. The cell phone was once a luxury, but now is an attatchment of our bodies, with a camera for eyes and buttons for speech, the camera phone has taken over body and mind.

Our mission for this wiki is to inform others of the downfalls and privacy infringements camera phones bring upon society.

Introduction

When a person enters their place of work, club or school locker room, classroom or even a bar, they may be taking photos without one's knowledge. In the workplace employers need to be aware of anyone using a cell phone. The cell phone can now be equipped with a tiny camera that can be used to steal confidential information a company would not want to share. In an educational atmosphere cheating is now just a point and click away,with camera phones being used to take photos of notes and others' exams. The last scenario leads to the locker room at a local gym locker room where someone has pretended to be using their phone for a telephone call when in reality they are snapping a nude picture of you. Many organizations and the general public are not protecting themselves against their privacy being infringed with the use of camera phones.
