I recently came across an article in local vernacular weekly stating that Nokia 1100 got sold on Ebay at INR 25,000/- or US$ 520. I was shocked to read this and this made me read the entire article. When I went on reading, I realized that this is nothing but a game the rich play.
Some mobile enthusiasts have developed the art (& science) of cloning the SIM card. by cloning the SIM, the entire information on the SIM, including your mobile number, operator information, address book, etc. can be duplicated in no time. Sophisticated devices are available in the market which do this job of copying data from one SIM to other, or cloning. Once the SIM is cloned, you simply insert the cloned SIM in any other phone and you will be able to track the interactions on the original SIM. For example, you have cloned your wife's SIM. by inserting her SIM in other mobile, you will be able to track all her interactions on her cell phone and actually listen to all the calls she makes or receives.
Knowing this, some rich people decided to use this technology to their advantage to track their husbands and wives. Instead of hiring private detectives for this job, they simply purchased cloning device and cloned the SIM of their loved ones(?) With this, they were actually able to understand what is going on. Interestingly, since the cloned SIM works only with Nokia 1100 as of now, this handset is so much in demand nowadays, that it got sold at INR 25,000/- on Ebay.
This article raised my eyebrows and made me think.
Are we using the technology in the right direction or we are mis-using it to kill our love and affection towards our own family members?
