• W113258828 abstract "Abstract twenty-first century has ushered in demand by some Americans for devices--novel electronic gadgets that secretly fend off, punish, or comment upon perceived antisocial and annoying behaviors of others. Manufacturers, marketers, and users of certain devices, however, face potential tort liability for personal and property damages suffered by targets of this by gadget. Federal, state, and local policymakers should start process of coming to pragmatic terms with troubling rise in popularity of devices. This is an area of social policy that cries out for thoughtful and creative legislative solutions. I. INTRODUCTION: FASCINATING NEW AND TROUBLING VIGILANTE TECHNOLOGIES II.

INTRODUCTION: FASCINATING NEW AND TROUBLING VIGILANTE TECHNOLOGIES Technology is two-edged sword: new machines, devices, processes, contrivances, appliances, tools, and gizmos can bring benefits; but there are negative consequences to boot. (1) Indeed, at one time federal government funded an Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) (now defunct) that studied new and emerging technologies and issued reports on how to manage and regulate these cutting edge tools. (2) It is fundamental, of course, that at least since early years of twentieth century, tort law has imposed liability on manufacturers, sellers, and users of products (whether new or old). Under theories of warranty, intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability (of one sort or other), tort law has awarded damages to victims of technology gone awry or misused. (3) beguiling recent development, however, raises interesting legal questions. In an August 2007 Wall Street article, innocuously placed in Weekend Journal section, readers learned of the growing ranks of electronic vigilantes who have started to deploy novel gadgetry to secretly fend off, punish, or comment upon annoying behavior of their fellow Americans. (4) Thanks to falling cost of microcontroller chips and lure of easy online sales, inventors are turning out record numbers of gadgets. One growing subset of these inventions: products that help people neutralize antisocial behavior at push of button. (5) Who are purveyors of these new anti-antisocial behavior contraptions? The brains behind these devices range from entrepreneurs in suburban Los Angeles to graduate students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. (6) Some examples are illuminating: (1) A Tennessee company has created $50 device that shuts up other people's dogs by answering their barks with an ultrasonic squeal that humans can't hear, and is deceptively inserted in backyard birdhouse; (7) (2) British inventors are exporting new product for people who hate lousy drivers--it's luminescent screen that fits in car's rear window and, at driver's command, flashes one of five messages to other motorists including Back Off, Idiot, a sad face, happy face and--not yet widely disseminated, but demanded by some purchasers of screen--offensive hand gestures; (8) (3) MIT's Media Lab, which has coined new word annoyancetech has developed 'No-Contact Jacket' that, when activated with controller, delivers blast of electricity to anyone who touches person wearing it; (9) (4) Annoy-a-tron, designed for simple revenge by allowing user to hide device under desks of one's enemies with device emitting a loud, piercing little beep; (10) (5) specially revamped iPod which silences annoying FM radio stations in taxicabs; (11) (6) TV-B-Gone, a $20 handset that allows people to shut off loud televisions in public places like doctor's offices and bars; (12) (7) cellphone [sic] jammers; (13) (8) the Mosquito,--marketed by firm called Kids Be Gone--which high-frequency sounds particularly irritating to congregations of teenagers; (14) and (9) an invention called 'I-Bomb' that emits an electromagnetic pulse that disables all electronics in its range (a similar device was depicted in movie 'Ocean's Eleven') (15) and that, for instance, could be used to shut down neighbor playing loud music on her stereo. …" @default.
