The
mobile robberies have become an important problem in the last years and this is
talking about the “Secure Our Smartphones” initiative of develop a technology
which can deter the thieves. They
are trying to develop a “killswitch” method which will make the mobile useless
when this has been stolen. The only problem until the moment is that thieves
can sell the mobile in different parts. But at least they are putting barriers
between thieves and easy money, and that is what they say that is the key to
deterring much of the current street crime. They say that if a thug have problem to sell the mobile or
they have to pay somebody to unlock it they is a bit deterred to steal it.
“There
is no silver bullet. But these
thieves are not technologically savvy.”
My opinion:
In
my opinion this is a great initiative because I know a lot of people who have
lost, or somebody have stolen, their mobiles and it is a very serious problem
because the mobiles are becoming more and more expensive and a there are a lot
of people who stole mobiles and then sell it for a lot of money. I think that
it also will happen this in the future but there will be less thefts. The other
problem now, is that the police don’t do anything against that so they can do
what they want.
Words I have learnt:
- Thug
- Deter
