In view of the rising spate of crimes on women and children , there has been a prolific rise in technology based solutions(apps and devices). Or are they really?
Let's look at what they are offering. Real time tracking, SOS, tamper proof devices etc. These need to be worn by the child/person who is seeking safety. At this rate every individual would need one device. Even then, how would it prevent crime? Will people be able to come to rescue so quickly? There are so many such questions and issues which are not fool proof.
Should we be living in perpetual fear, always looking over our shoulders, wearing all kinds of devices, and still be vulnerable?
Shouldn't the focus be instead on tracking the criminals? Atleast the ones who have been booked previously in some kind of crime. Can't we work out a solution where human rights are not really infringed upon. May be its a small price to pay as long as it allows us to save thousands of innocent souls from the heinous crimes that are being perpetrated upon them.
Won't it lead to a better society...
