Detecting crime has become reality

Hello World, I've been absent for a while, my apologies. So what's new in the world today.

EA recently released a new Battlefield 3 trailer that shows us in great detail the cars, planes and helicopters that will be used in the new game. They have a great trailer. Just head over to YouTube and you will be able to see under EAVision channel.

In the news where reality meets fiction. You guys ever watched the movie Minority Report, staring Tom Cruse. If, you haven't, the movie is about being able to predict crimes before they actually are committed. Just like you can weather is predicted these days. In the movie, the detectives would actually be able to see the crime happen in the future and then make an arrest before it actually happened.

In real life something similar is happening. Santa Cruz, California police department have been recently equipped with high tech computers that can predict crime before it happens. Now don't get so excited, it is no Minority Report movie. This is just the beginning, through a very complicated algorithm, it detects potential areas that will be targeted. The interesting thing is that it actually gives the offices the location, time window of crime and what kind of crime.

So far since they started using it, they have arrested several people in the act. Things are moving forward with technology these days. The days of talking to each other over a handheld device is already here, which once was just a science fiction dream from sci-fi movies and T.V. shows.

What are your thoughts on that?
