You're Busted Punk...
The Mid-century Fling
Ain't What it Used to Be
Gentlemen, have you ever considered a fling with that doll-faced secretary who sits outside your office day after day taking dictation and attending to your calls? It’s crossed your mind! Well, brother, think again cos the 21st Century is hardly the place for a discreet romance that we once knew. No longer can you leave the office with your secretary for some afternoon delight and get away with it, especially if you have a pesky wife sniffing about with her hired gun private eye. Here’s the reality check on how you will be caught with your pants down!
 Picture this, you, the almighty Cad, arrange for lunch at an upmarket city restaurant.
Reality: booking recorded by maitre’d and there’s a record of your call on phone service provide.
You get to the restaurant with your secretary, order a meal, a couple of martinis, and you leave.
Reality: the restaurant has a computer seating system that will record your arrival, departure, number of guests, and what you ordered.
Okay, you head out of the restaurant to the car park.
Reality: with CCTV absolutely everywhere Big Brother can watch you leave the restaurant and trace you and your baby all the way to the car. 
Now you both have to be at a meeting across town so you put the pedal to the metal to get there; lucky the cops aren’t around on this highway this afternoon to pull you over.
Reality: you just went through a speed camera which will record your speed, time, direction along with the freeway you are on.
As you are blissfully unaware of any speed cameras, you fly along the freeway contently and then decide to take a toll road to save some time.
Reality: your electronic tag has just recorded your time, direction, and tollway.
Now, for the cad who wants to play around - have his cake and eat it too - all this technology is likely to cause some major headaches and possibly make a poorer cad when the little lady sees the data and statistics courtesy of our friendly P.I.
Take for instance the cell phone, all the calls are logged with the phone company which could even tell where you are and who you are calling. 
How about a little internet romance, perhaps some online flirting? It’s all harmless right? After all, I’ll just delete the email when I’m done…..sorry to break it to you but there’s a little matter of the hard drive which keeps every bit of information, that was ever on the computer and it’s pretty easy to get to.
So to all you cads out there with a wandering eye, be aware that Big Brother is watching, George Orwell was right and not even Harry Potters invisibility cloak can help you!
