Rebeka you are hundred percent right that cell phone or the modern day technological advancements contribute a lot towards the increased crime rate but you must be aware that each and everything has merits and demerits and its not the device or invention itself, but the person who uses the device. Now the cell phone or other devices, you referred to, undoubtedly are being used for illegal activities but , the same are also being used by the law enforcing agencies.its the same like a knife, which is used for cutting fruits and vegetable but at the same time can cause death if used the other way.Owing to this, we can not stop having more inventions and advancements, rather what we need to do is to educate more and more people and create an environment, where these crimes are not committed.
