Assignment Description
Smart technologies are on the
rise. There is a body of literature
discussing the key benefits of Smart Technologies; however smart technologies
also introduce many ethical issues.
0) Technologies such as google glass and
smart watches are coming into workplace. Given the intrusive natures of these
technologies it is easy for employees to take video or photographs of other
people at work and share it with others. What ethical issues arise from use of
wearable technologies in workplace?
1) Smart phones are being used by nurses
for clinical communications and workflow in hospitals. Using smart phones to
record patient data introduces ethical issues involving patient privacy.
Identify what privacy risks arise in such a context and explain the risks in
detail.
2)
Social media is becoming addictive for
many people. Some people are constantly haunted by the Fear of Missing out
(FoMo)? Explore the extent to which the FoMo syndrome is now prevalent in the
society and its ethical impacts.
3)
Cyberbullying has been a significant
issue globally over the past few years. Cyber-technology has exacerbated this
problem due to proliferation of mobile applications in the marketplace. You
receive notification from a third party through one of the Apps that you use
inviting you to participate in an event. You are not sure how they received
your details. Discuss what security issues arise due to sharing of too much
personal information on social media Apps.
4)
There are many apps available for
download for consumers (for example, health monitoring, booking taxi, banking
apps). While these Apps are user friendly and improve user experience, there is
also a security concern that hackers can use some loopholes in such apps to
modify or delete customer information. Discuss an App that you have used
recently and if there have been privacy breaches? Is it ethical for companies
to introduce Apps with only basic level of security?
Investigate and reflect upon one
of the above scenarios using Ethical
Guidelines published by organisations such as: EA and ACS.
