Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Technology advances bring great things. People can work faster, more productively, and have more fun doing it (sometimes). But you can’t progress 100%, there’s always a bit of regression and today I found truth to that. A man was caught holding a mobile phone and PDA for ransom. Granted it’s much better that he kidnap these items instead of a 9 year old daughter, but still people, what are you thinking? He was caught, and now faces charges. I wonder if he sent pictures of the PDA tied up, or those magazine cut out notes saying “if you ever want to make a phone call again, give me a million dollars!”
