Crime Fighting

Internet crime prevention:

You have probably heard of hackers! These people "break" into other people's computers and steal or modify data. This is illegal, but can hardly be stopped, by an internet police or something. Future computers therefore, will be designed to be able to control all internet activities, to prevent illegal stuff to happen which can cost millions of $, for example if people manage to hack into a bank. New Supercomputers will be able to locate every computer that logs on to a server, by using its IP number for identification. Therefore, hackers can be arrested while the are at their PCs.

Phone crime prevention:

When people plan a crime, while talking on their phones, future computers will be able to identify this automatically (without people having to listen to the conversation) by filtering "key words", which are often mentioned in relating to crimes or terrorist attacks. Similar to the internet IP, those computers can locate the position of the callers and help to prevent the crime, they were planning.
