With the arrival of novel technologies, it has become much easier for the law enforcements agencies to combat against the organized crimes. Technology has been playing a very major, important and influential role in the elimination of crimes from our society. Technological innovations and devices such as Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras have been proven as very successful in the prevention of organized crime. Proponents of video surveillance, this system helps, prevent crime. The role of technology has played important role in the fight against crime because it is the use of computers and walkie-talkies...like for example the use of walkie-talkies for one police officer to the next and the computers that the police officers use in their squad cars to look up the offenders home address, past crimes, driver license and things of that nature. And also the use of technology is used by the F.B.I and the other big major U.S.A government facilities, with the use of their computers they can track, persons. Walk through gate is another very important technological device for preventing the crimes and organized crimes of higher level and severe intensity. The security measures include the screening of passengers and their baggage at the time of check in and boarding, but also the monitoring of movements in terminals and on runways, as well as around aircraft. Security consists mainly of a search for possible explosive devices that may be brought aboard planes civilian unlawfully, whether in a checked baggage, hand baggage through cargo carried in cargo, or by a crew member or mechanic. This procedure prevents criminals. There is no escape from technology. In most cases this is not a problem though. Many people respect and admire technology because it is there to benefit them. Without the technological advances we have had over the years, the world would not be what it is today. What people don’t understand is that technology can actually be a bad thing. In society today, people are looking for more and more ways to be entertained, and all it is doing is causing problems. People are doing less and less thinking and more and more watching, listening, and playing, all because of technology. There are many problems with television though, mainly with the content of the shows. Many of the shows on television portray violence, drugs, sexual activity, and profanity. People who watch these shows see what the actors and actresses are doing and then feel it is all right for them to do the same things. If a kid is watching a show were one of the actors or actresses use profanity, they will feel it is all right for them to use the same language. Many of the video games on the market today are structured toward violence. The objective of these games is to either beat your opponent up or kill your opponent. Kids play these games, and much like television, see what the game is portraying and feel it is all right to do the same things. Whether it is the Internet, television, or even video games, technological advancements have their advantages and disadvantages. People never think that something that is said to be so good can actually have a bad side to it. People get too caught up in things sometimes that they forget what it is there for. People have to learn to use technology the right way so they can get the best out of it without overusing it.
