The computer age has arrived and is in full bloom. If you do not believe me, just try to find a national advertisement that does not prominently list the Internet Web site of the advertiser. Or try to find a business that does not rely on a computer to track its sales and maintain its business records.
Computers are everywhere.
They have found their way into many households and portable computing is a way of life for most business travelers. The rapid acceptance of computer technology by all segments of our society has created new and interesting challenges for law enforcement agencies and prosecuting attorneys. Almost over night personal computers have changed the way the world does business. They have also changed the world's view of evidence because computers are used more and more as tools in the commission of traditional crimes. Embezzlements, theft, extortion and even murders are now committed with the aid of personal computers.
