Too Much Focus On Camera Phones


Too Much Focus On Camera Phones 01/16/2004 01:03 PM
There's been all this fear-mongering about the dangers of people using mobile phones to take pictures of people without their knowledge, so the second someone is actually caught trying to do so, the press turns it into a story worth covering. The point here, though, shouldn't be to focus on the fact that this school crossing guard/playground supervisor was trying to take pictures of these students with a camera phone, but the fact that he was in the girls bathroom at all. It should be obvious to just about anyone that a male adult does not belong in an elementary school girl's bathroom. Furthermore, by this point, anyone with half a brain should be suspicious if someone has pulled out a camera phone in a public restroom. It certainly sounds like that was the case here. The guy seems to have been caught pretty quickly. While reaction to this story is likely to be more calls for banning camera phones - that's the wrong response. Clearly, the normal methods worked here. People saw right away that this guy was doing something wrong, and he was apprehended.

Considering that we were just talking about the fact that the nice things about camera phones isn't that they're cameras, but the fact that they let you do something different, here's the perfect article to go along with that. There are a number of new applications coming out that let users take photos of product barcodes - and automatically get more information about the product. The info can include anything from detailed info to reviews to coupons to offers at other merchants. This is exactly the type of thing that you can't do with a regular camera that a camera phone lets you do. It's not a replacement for a camera - it's adding new capabilities that open up new possibilities.

Missing The Point On Camera Phones


Missing The Point On Camera Phones 01/19/2004 05:05 AM
Sometimes you want to sit down folks and have them read (once again) Clayton Christensen's research on how disruptive technologies work. What's amazing is that, despite the popularity of his work, those who are facing the challenge of a disruptive technology never seem to notice it until it's too late. That's exactly what's happening with camera phones, and it almost makes the following article comical, as various people who have a vested interest in more traditional types of photography point out the weakness of camera phones. That, of course, isn't the point. Of course camera phones aren't as good for taking pictures. Camera phones aren't designed right now as a replacement for cameras. They're not competing with cameras. They're offering an alternative - and that alternative leads to new and different uses. People who use a camera phone don't take the same types of pictures that a normal camera user takes. That's not what they're for. However, as the quality does get better, there is going to be an increasing segment of the population who realizes that camera phones certainly serve the needs that they used to use a regular "snapshot" camera for. Already the quality of new camera phones is getting to be pretty good, and it's not like camera phone makers have hit their limits yet.

Legal Ramifications Of Camera Phones


Legal Ramifications Of Camera Phones 11/06/2003 09:37 PM
People left and right have been over reacting to camera phones, but it does raise some legal issues - specifically about the rights of those who are being photographed. Where I'm confused, though, is how come existing law doesn't already cover this? If you're in a public place and have no expectation of privacy, I'm not sure how there's an issue. If you're in a private place, it's a different story - but is still covered by existing law. The article also mentions a law saying that if you're in a federal areas (government buildings, national parks) and someone takes a photo of you in "sensitive or compromising states", they can't disseminate those photos. I'm curious why that is. If you're on such federal property, why are you going to be in "sensitive or compromising states?" Anyway, as someone else in the article points out, this is mostly just people over reacting to new technology that they don't understand. After it percolates a bit, people will reach social norms and expectations. There were digital cameras before this, and once people realize that most phones have cameras as well, they'll be more conscious about what's happening around them.

Rumsfeld Bans Camera Phones In Iraq...
Or Not


Rumsfeld Bans Camera Phones In Iraq...
Or Not
05/24/2004 06:02 AM
Just as a number of news stories have come out over the past few weeks talking about how technologies like camera phones have changed the way war is perceived in ways that those running the war in Iraq simply didn't expect, comes the completely unsurprising news that Donald Rumsfeld has responded to the various photographs of Iraqi prisoner abuse by banning camera phones at military bases in Iraq. Now, no matter what your politics are, or however you feel about the situation in Iraq, (and as unsurprising as this is) this seems like a particularly pointless move. First of all, I'm sure taking camera phone photos within a military prison environment was already very much against the rules before this happened. However, it still happened. All this does is ban a technology, not an action. Second, and more importantly, this doesn't seem like what you do when you're trying to put a stop to whatever caused the prisoner abuse to happen in the first place - it's an action to prevent more such "bad publicity" from getting out there. It's the typical reaction to technology when it's used against you: ban the technology that unveiled something embarrassing, rather than trying to stop whatever was the real cause of the embarrassment. That, alone, is an embarrassment. For someone so focused on using technology for military purposes, to then go and assume that technology is only okay when he controls it shows a particular lack of understanding about how technology works. Technology empowers everyone - and those who assume it only empowers their side show a particular lack of foresight. Update: Engadget points us to a story from a few weeks ago at TheDailyFarce, which looks somewhat similar - raising the question as to whether or not this is yet another case where media sources were taken in by farcical online stories.
