As stated in the "Entrepreneruial Idea" post, the unsend app is an app that "unsends" any unread message that you no longer want the recipient to read. The unsend app has already been created, but only for the blackberry email accounts and gmail. By making the app accessible for texting (on most phones) makes the app more sufficient because people text everyday and some people throughout the day regret sending a text message to someone.
Computer Forensics is the art and science of applying computer science to aid in the legal process of evidence found in computers and digital storage media. The unsend app applies to the lecture about computer forensics because unlike most deleted messages on cellular phones, the unsend app doesn't keep any information that anyone "unsends." Even though, this app would not help computer forensic scientists, the app will help the users by not exposing their "unsent" messages and their messages will not be traceable or able to be found by investigators, if necessary.
In order to make the unsend app have the feature of untraceable sent messages, some concepts of computer forensics would have to applied. The unsend app would have privacy settings that would secure the user's "unsent" messages from the process of file carving, which is used to reconstruct deleted messages. This feature might cause problems with future court cases, because investigators will not be able to trace the deleted information. I think this feature is efficient because people do make mistakes, whether it's an act on impulse and a person recognizes their mistake once they decide to "unsend" a message, so letting the "unsent" messages disappear forever benefits the user's life.
