Cell phones with build-in camera is popular these days. You can see that camera phone is becoming a part of our daily life. But there are situations where people took advantage and misuse the concept of a camera phone such as taking pictures or videos of people in a locker room or any location where people don’t like you to take picture of them. You can see that today most people like to take embarassing pictures of their friends and colleague. On a certain situation it is considered as a prank and joke between friends. But when you take embarassing photo of a stranger, it’s a totally different case where you just violated their privacy. For example when you open a your friend’s blog and see a photo of you, you considered it as an acception because that person is still your friend and may just be joking around. But when you open a blog where you have no idea who is the publisher and you see a photo of yourself, you will see it as offensive.
That is why in a certain situation like in a locker room, they don’t allow you to bring in your phone or camera but instead prepare a place where they keep it for you before entering a locker room. The concept of a camera phone is to create a convinience where people don’t have to carry a phone and a camera all the time and in a certain situation where you need to take a photo, a camera is always availabe to you as long as you bring your handphone. Often people like to misuse that concept and violate other people’s privacy. The conclusion is that we should be aware of our surroundings and when we want to do anything that can embarrass us, just remember that there are people that will violate your privacy in for some intertainment.
