Thoughts on Columbine and Photo Phones
Posted by Steve Outing at 1:27 PM on Feb. 27, 2004
OK, so I have photo phones on the brain again. So sue me. But this morning here in Colorado, among the top news is a new report about the Columbine High School murder spree of five years ago. That got me thinking how different things would be if Columbine happened today, when at least some of the students in that school would be carrying photo phones. The public would certainly know a lot more about what went on inside the building that terrible day. Receiving images from the devices might even have helped police responding to the scene to better deal with the situation.
