Same old lies....new technology.  Interesting article from the New York Times, written by Austin Constadine. 

Apparently many people feel it is easier to lie through the use of text messages, and other electronic means, than it is in person.  However, with the technological tools available to computer forensics technicians, certified fraud examiners, and eDiscovery professionals, the trustworthiness of an electronic communication is often easier to gauge.

Learn about the "Butler" lie, and the use of technology to avoid communicating with someone.  The article points out why it might actually be harder to lie via text message, than it might be during a phone conversation.  "Gotta go, boss is coming"...might actually work better on the phone than it does by text.
