Creating all this new technology has created a whole new set of problems when it comes to crime. Criminals are finding new ways to steal your identity, shut off your home alarm system, break into cars and rob you. Now what's frightening about this article is how easy it seems for people to simply pass this information along to others and how that might cause an increase in these types of crimes. Most smart-phones now come with the tracking device, which at first seemed like a good idea because it makes it easier for to track where your kids are at all times as long as they have a cell phone on there person. On the other hand this same device can be taken over by hackers and can used to commit crimes. The internet, social media, cell-phones and other technology devices are great tools, but we have to be careful not to rely on them to do things like baby-sitting or monitoring our children because we are more than capable of doing it ourselves.
