- Beware of New Technology
- The technology is new, and I'm sure that there are plenty of uses for it, but opening up such technology to the public in it's current form might be dangerous.<br /><br />Fallen into the wrong hands, it could be used for numerous bad purposes.<br /><br />Pedophiles could use it to spot kids on the internet. Killers could use it to find their prey. Terrorists and/or others who wish to cause harm could use it to find politicians, spouses/ex-spouses could use it to track down their separated/divorced counterparts.<br /><br />Sure it's probably brand new technology and has a lot of potential, but safety measures need to be set into place prior to opening it up for anybody to do just about anything with.<br /><br />FWIW
