Exciting new technological breakthroughs are getting a great deal of attention about the desirability to balance privacy and protection.
Recently a handful of software companies have published ‘spyware’ for mobile phones.

As sending SMS text messages from cell phones has become an attraction in teenager social life, parents, educators and advocates have grown increasingly anxious about the role of cellular phones in the sexual lives of teenagers. A fresh research study from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project (pewinternet.org/topics/Teens.aspx) found that four percent of mobile phone using teens ages twelve to seventeen indicate they have transmitted sexually suggestive nude or nearly nude images or videos of themselves to someone else using SMS text messages . This activity is commonly referred to “sexting” in the current vernacular. Additionally, 15% say they have received such images of someone they already know via text message .
According to a study from marketing research firm The Nielsen Company (blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/under-aged-texting-usage-and-actual-cost/) American teens send an unimaginable average of ten SMS texts per hour that they are not in school or sleeping – and probably a lot during their classes too. Focus group findings show that sending provocative images happens usually under one of three typical scenarios: The first, involves exchanges of images just between two romantic partners; the next, lists exchanges between partners that are then shared with other people; followed by, exchanges between people who are not yet in a relationship, but with one person hoping there will be one.
