Jugar en el metro... ¿fomenta el crimen para el alcalde de Nueva York?
Hace pocos días hablamos de cómo la Asociación del Rifle en Estados Unidos intentó echar la culpa del aumento de los crímenes con armas a los videojuegos. Pero la psicosis contra el entretenimiento digital no para al otro lado del Atlántico. Ahora ha sido el alcalde de Nueva York, Michael Bloomberg. Según él, si ha aumentado el crimen en Nueva York es culpa de Apple y de que la gente juegue en el metro o la calle. Lo mismo por lo que muchos años atrás culparon a Game Boy.
Por supuesto, culpa a la presencia de terminales de alta gama en las manos de cualquiera en lugares públicos. Lo curioso del caso es que culpa a Apple. Sólo a Apple y a su iPhone y iPad. Como si en Nueva York las PSVita o los terminales con Android no existiesen. La culpa de que aumente el crimen en Nueva York es de iPhone y iPad para Bloomberg. El primero porque la gente chatea y juega. Y el segundo porque es un aparato caro con el que la gente se echa unas partidas en el metro.
Lo mismo que pasó con Game Boy cuando empezaron a popularizarse en los trayectos en transporte público. Que se dijo que fomentaban los robos porque los chavales se echaban unas partidas mientras iban a casa, a la escuela o al trabajo.
Por supuesto, tras esta criminalización a los jugadores se encuentra lo mismo de siempre: el alcalde de Nueva York no quiere más que desviar la atención cuando le preguntan por qué ha aumentado el crimen en la ciudad más violenta de la primera economía mundial. Y según él, mientras los asesinatos, violaciones y robos dice han disminuido, ahora el robo de productos Apple le empaña las estadísticas.
Los cálculos del señor Bloomberg son cuanto menos cuestionables: como en 2012 hubieron 3.484 crímenes más que el año anterior y el aumento en robos de productos Apple fue de 3.890, el primer hombre de Nueva York dice que todo el aumento en criminalidad se debe a Apple. No a que Apple fabrique productos, sino a que la gente usa y juega con sus dispositivos.
"Si no fuese porque la gente usa terminales iPhone y iPad en el metro, hubiéramos acabado el año por debajo en crímenes", manifestaron desde la oficina del presidente.
¿La solución en Nueva York? No usar el terminal en lugares públicos
Ante este panorama, Bloomberg avisa a las gentes de Nueva York a que jugar con el teléfono podría favorecer su robo. El caso se complica más cuando se trata de un iPad, ya que su tamaño y volumen los hace más llamativos. Pero el alcalde neoyorquino pide a sus ciudadanos que guarden los dispositivos que tengan dentro de un bolsillo con el que tengan contacto, como es el del pantalón.
Desde la Policía de Nueva York también explican que están desbordados porque hoy en día la gente carga con dispositivos de gran valor encima. Videoconsolas portátiles, tabletas o teléfonos. Y que en el caso de los videojuegos, sus usuarios quedan enfrascados en ellos mientras viajan en transporte público y luego los siguen ladrones que los interceptan mientras viajan.
