There is some big news in India, where two students have been expelled for making a pornographic video using a mobile phone, and distributing it to other students using MMS. In addition the school has banned mobile phones – all of them, not just the ones with cameras.
Teenagers doing inappropriate things with mobile phones are to be expected. After all, for the history of humankind they’ve been doing inappropriate things with everything they come across and in any situation they find themselves in. That’s part of teenagehood. Society has to decide how it will deal with these situations, and I don’t think banning technology is going to be the best solution.
