  •  
    Skype is a software that enables online free instant messaging, video chatting and voice calling to anyone else that has Skype. Skype is a great resource for world conversations. The issue that Skype has are both security and privacy reasons. Skype is currently in the hands of ebay. Ebay is a well known site that allows people to buy items online and it some what reliable. The information that one would need to register in order to be a member of ebay and now Skype, one would need to place information stating, "Full name, User ID, Email address, Street address, State, City, ZIP code, Phone number, Country, Company, Password, Secondary phone number, Gender, Shipping information (including name, street address, city, state, ZIP), Bidding history on an item, Items for sale, Feedback left about the user, Bidding history, Prices paid for items, Feedback rating, Chat room and bulletin board posts" According to Ms.Brownstone in order for someone to find the identify of someone's personal information one would need the date of birth, and Zip code. What Ebay requires one to give out information is far more than what is necessary. One would question if they are really that reliable of a site. Skype claims that its reliable but we have to verification of evidence that it is indeed reliable. The security reasons behind Skype is that according to what i read, "Skype is an insistently closed program." This can affect the stakeholders which are the users of Skype to know if its a really secure website.

    This Article describes the disadvantages of using RFID on items. If an item is leaving the store there is a sensor at the entrance that charges your products on your credit card. You don't have to wait for the casher to clear your products. You can just walk away with the bag and you have already paid for the item. Bob Evans a reporter says, "Among stores that moved the product from stockroom to shelves before the promotion hit, average sales were 48% higher for it than those that did so after the promotion's start." The price for the RFID has increased which affects the Economic status of the shoppers.

How the society and human impacts of technology affect us - 1 views

  •  
    "The idea of engagement -- using technology to bring about discussions -- as well as incorporating commonly held human values should be brought into the design process, the researchers said.The notion that a piece of technology can be simply be produced and plunked down in front of a person "is unlikely to move us forward," said Tom Rodden, a professor of interactive systems at the University of Nottingham."\nJeremy Kirk, IDG News Service\nSat, 5 Apr 2008 23:00:00 UTC\nThis information I felt was very important because it helped me think of technology in a whole new way. Technology is not what is going to help us make the future, its us(humans) who are going to have the idea and the capacity to create this future using robots/machines to help us create the basses of it. Robots will have a huge impact on how we live in our everyday lives.
