This relates to ITGS because the stakeholder her is a 17-year female who goes to high school in California and does her homework. However, when it comes to doing homework she gets distracted really quick and forgets. When she comes back she feels like she has so much homework until she finally she goes in to a room where she is isolated without technology which helps her complete concentrate and finish her tasks for school. This shows that home leisure comes in affect where technology at home which in this case is a computer and a phone directly links it to social networking and communication. If she was without a phone and a computer I am pretty sure it would less harder for her to get distracted. Sometimes using a computer will help complete the task faster this then will give her more time with her social life. What I am trying to say is that technology has its advantages and disadvantages.

This article is about a 17-year old teenager had wanted to put Javascript code in a tweet. But then, others picked up the code and hacked Twitter by leading to viruses and pornography sites. It wasn't his intention to spread the worm to any users, but he wanted to see if it was possible to break the 140 words challenge on a tweet.

This news post provides information regarding to three strands of the ITGS triangle. It's based on home and leisure and due to many privacy issues. Stakeholders are the Twitter users who have posted tweets and received viruses on their computers. Privacy and anonymity determines whether a user wants to post certain tweets regarding him/her and the anonymity would be how this teen had caused the spread of this worm onto other's computers which was a severe consequence for many. Tweets are meant to be secure, however any users that have accessed Twitter and clicked on the harmful link which have caused damages to their computers. The lack of security measure is terrible because it's suppose to prevent employess and users from having access to hacking; but it had done the opposite. The topic of people and machine is the benefit of Twitter. Users who have tweeted are somehow 'addicted' to posting personal information online and to their friends. It's a daily habit and a routine that most people do almost every five minutes each day. Twitter hits 50 million tweets a day and not only that, but people are very much attached to their cyber life nowadays. The internet is definitely not the safest place to talk about your daily life and the worm was spread across the cyberspace because of a advertisement that advertised for colored tweets on profiles, which was a mistake to click on.

Poor guy! was my first thought, at the age of 17 and caused such a problem on twitter. This makes me think about how technology can go wrong so fast, which is why we shouldnt become so dependent on technology all the time! A simple java script on a tweet and bam! A worm was caught by all the other twitter users. And it wasnt even done intentiionally, imagine if it were done? The numerous things that can occur. Well thanks for sharing!

Scientists in Barcelona have constructed a technological device, enabling users to engage and "live" within a virtual reality; this digital world however, is bound by the oppressive and devastating human conditions experienced by the victimized individuals of physical and verbal maltreatment. The device, although it may conjure ethical realizations within the user's mind, also poses as an ethical dilemma for it brings the cruel severity of the downtrodden and exploited people into visual and mental display terrorizing the emotional stability of the participants.

Technological breakthroughs in decoding the human mind have blossomed ever since the invention of a device through which users are immersed within a virtual reality, to live and experience the trauma and distressing scenarios of people victimized by physical as well as emotional abuse. Developed by a team of Spanish scientists, this device is breaking down the mind's irrational judgement in relation to discriminatory or wrongful perceptions against others. The user of the device, once transported into the anguished lives of the virtual characters, comes face to face with the agony of living through abusive violence, and begins to form a clearer impression about the effects of such experiences upon the lifestyle, behavior and well being of any victim. In doing so, the participant ultimately widens the boundaries of his mental state of thought, and begins to appreciate and acknowledge the peace given by a happy life rid of gnawing internal complications. However, in engaging with such a virtual reality the user becomes an unshielded target of bitter misery, felt and illustrated by the depictions seen through the device. The software that is included in this article is the technological device that offers an entrance into the virtual world for the user. The stakeholders within this article are the users of the device, whose mental and emotional stability is controlled by the virtual reality developed by the scientists. The scientists hold the success of the entire experiment in the palm of their hands, and really are the source of the effect upon human behavior. One has to take into consideration the physical and psychological considerations (in "Health" scenario) of technology on the user of this particular device; although this device does help others modify their morality as they expand their considerations for the factors that have made people what they are today. The device however, does inflict the same trauma and terror depicted by the gestures and movements

I agree with the ethical and social concerns involved within your article. Although there are some benefits of recognizing the pain and violence inflicted on others, it can cause emotional stigma and trauma upon the person who is using this technological device. Technology controls our ethical morality, in developing software that explores the way the human brain works we destroy this boundary of what is right and wrong because we begin to focus on research and forget the effects involved. In this case, those involved in the experiment are unaware of the effects that this virtual reality exposed to the user will eventually have on them mentally and emotionally.

Airlines and EU officials said the security risk will be minimized because the system will not connect inflight phones directly to the ground - instead using an onboard base station to link up to a satellite and then to ground networks. "It has to go through a central onboard cellular network that can be switched off by the captain at any moment, so that enhances the security of the passengers," said EU spokesman Martin Selmayr. He added that for safety and security concerns the phone services will not be available during takeoff, landing or during turbulence.
