Wireless technology is incredibly handy, since it allows the tying together of devices and data streams that would traditionally have required cabling (and, thus, likely would not have been done). So, for example, I can set up a wireless network in my house, and use my notebook from the kitchen table, printing to our printer and surfing the Net, without an Ethernet jack. I can take phone calls there with my wireless phone. I can listen to movies with wireless speakers. I can …<\/p>\n

… well, I can get myself in a lot of trouble<\/a> if I’m not careful. Just as wireless technology can blanket the inside of a house, it can broadcast out to the neighborhood — as early wireless telephone users discovered, as has this nasty creature:<\/p>\n

The neighbor, who did not wish to be identified, bought a wireless surveillence camera for his home security. After he installed it, the camera ended up getting a signal from a different wireless camera in a nearby house.
\nThe man saw two young children holding their hands in the air for more than an hour. He then put a tape in and began recording as a woman entered the room and hit one of the children in the chest. Later, the woman was filmed returning to the room and hitting the other girl with a stick.
\nThe man called police, who then went door-to-door until they found the woman. She turned out to be a foster mother. Police took the children, ages 2 and 4, into protective custody and have launched an investigation.<\/p>\n

Remember that before you set up a wireless camera inside of your house. Not that I expect any of my readers to be child abusers (if you are, please let me know, so I can come over and hit you many times with a baseball bat), but there are any number of activities that occur in my <\/i>house at least that I’d just as soon weren’t broadcast to my neighborhood …<\/p>\n
