In one case, 16 year old Ashton Lundeby's house was raided by FBI agents because of reports stating that there were "bomb threats" coming from his location. (See article here). Lundeby's mother claimed her son's IP address was stoled, apparently from someone in Florida. However, the FBI agents were not interested, and the Patriot Act allowed them to search all sorts of files and records as long as there is some sort of terrorist threat involved. (See Patriot Act here).
Now, we all know that technology is humanity's prized possession. However, we must ask ourselves:
Is technology helping or hurting us?
