In
this article 50 android smartphones were deliberately lost to see how people
dealt with finding a lost phone, they looked at what files were accessed and
what information was looked at that should not have been. In the study 95% of
the people who found one of these lost phones looked at personal files that
they should not have been, including records of financial and credit card statements.
I think that it is pretty sad that if you do lose your phone you can almost guarantee
that its going to be searched for your personal files. Instead of just returning
the phones to the owners. People feel the need to go through other people belongings
to find out information on a total stranger. It’s really kind of pathetic. In
order to avoid this there are a few thing you could do, Including: Putting a
pass-lock on your phone, and not keeping any importnant financial data on you
phone. Also another great way to avoid this problem is to not lose your smart phone.
I really liked this article because it really did put the human race to the test to see how we really treat each other in this already corrupt world. To be honest, not one thing that was said surprised me. During these days, no one likes to work hard to be rich or make easy money. Why do you think people sell drugs and do all those illegal things. But I have to disagree when you started calling people pathetic for looking into peoples business for money because how many times have you found money and then looked for the owner? It is basically the same thing. Now there are some people out there that will do the right thing and give it back but this is real life, this is not some fairy tale. However, you talk about taking the right steps to protecting your phone incase you do lose it which can really help and something even better to do is to not have all your personal information on your phone and put it on your laptop or computer.
