Our society is constantly creating newer and faster ways of
getting things done. For example, Amazon.com made shopping for specialty items
just as easy as reading the news. Reading the news, for that matter, is as easy
as opening an app on your phone and thumbing across interesting titles. Ironically,
as I was doing just that, I found a news article from Today.com which reports a
new technology allowing you to easily duplicate a key. The process is
simple: take a clear picture of a key, upload it to keysduplicated.com,
pay 6$ with a valid credit card, and they will ship you an exact duplicate of your
key. When the idea is phrased like that, it seems like a very positive
revolution in the key duplication process and you might now be thinking, “Gee, this
is great! I've been wanting a spare house key to keep at the neighbors in case
of an emergency.” However, if you read the article titled “New Technology CouldGive Thieves Key to Your Door, Literally”, written by Jeff Rossen at Today.com,
your eyes may be opened to a very scary danger that this “revolutionary new
technology” may pose. This is yet another great example of a cool new
technology that some may view as revolutionary and others, a great mistake.
Regardless of which you think it is, in the near future you may find yourself
hiding your keys just as naturally as your credit cards or your driver’s license.
