High tech hardware technology is no longer just something for James Bond movies and homeland security. These days they are used in dealing with affairs. Spouses on both sides of the adultery issue are utilizing state of the art the art technology in dealing with affairs. Adulterers are using the technology to hide their actions while the spouses are using them to uncover what has occurred.
Among the technologies used are monitoring E-Z Tag use and travel. Spouses are also setting up duplicate e-mail accounts and bogus identities on social network sites. As one spouse sets up the accounts, the other is making efforts to find them. Besides the dangers of infidelity possible on social network sites, there are now adult sites that encourage infidelity and setting up profiles with their service in addition to the traditional dating sites. There are now sites that cater to swingers, making it easier to connect with and meet those who are in that lifestyle.
The use of online billing records have been used both ways in the ongoing affair investigation activities. Keyloggers, pre-paid cell phones and voice activated recorders are among the items used in the modern attempts to catch cheaters. Spouses now comb the purchase records for pre-paid phones or any other tell-tale purchases that suggest that something is being hidden. Besides purchase records, keyloggers and programs that record all the sites a person visits are used as well. In the past, spouses merely checked the history of sites visited, but with cheaters learning to clean their tracks, the resolute spouse is only a few steps behind them with new ways of catching them.
It seems that when there is a will to cheat, that technology only makes their fantasies come true. Besides technology being used to hide cheating, it also makes it more difficult for the cheater to hide. The resolute spouse also has fantasies and uses the same technology to catch the cheat. There are even products that detect whether or not a spouse had physical relations with someone of the opposite gender based on detecting residue in the clothing. So even though a friend or agency may lie and tell convincing cover stories, the physical evidence of the affair is also more discernible using technology.
Although some couples are high-tech savvy, many people still only have a cursory knowledge of computers and the internet. Tech savvy-cheaters often exploit this difference in knowledge to hide their affairs, yet forget that there are many private investigators and lawyers that will quickly bring their spouse up to speed on the latest gadgetry. Affairs have become a high-tech game of cat and mouse with many new angles of finding electronic lip stick stains.
