This is a serious social and ethical issue. People have no idea who is going to be able to see their private medical information. Although the British need to trust both the UK government and Google to do the right thing with their data.

absolutely there is no privacy anymore. What would be the impact of sharing such critical information on patient. Who can see this database? who can edit it?

We think of ourselves as evolved creatures. It's just that sometimes we forget how slow that evolution is. Along comes Stephen Hawking to remind us that artificial intelligence might just evolve a little quicker than we're prone to. The result could be the end of our evolution and, indeed, the end of us.

Scenario: Human design a robot that is more intelligent than us. It realizes that it can evolve faster than us, and so no longer has any need for us, leading to the death of the human race. Social and ethical: The main point in this article is that we will develop our own ends. That we will develop a machine that will have the capability to perhaps kill us. Stake Holders: Steven Hawking is a stake holder in this article as he is the one who suggested that we should be thoughtful about our development of intelligent machines. Humanity: Robots could become more powerful than we could ever be really fast, and so end us. AI companies will have to worry about and have ways to prevent this. IT System: Currently we do not have the technology to enable this level of complexity in both Hardware and Software, however Moore's Law states that we are getting closer to this with every year.

Shoppers cheated by supermarket scanners - National - NZ Herald News This is your first ITGS article you were suppose to read. what ethical issue can you see here?

I chose this article because it's has close connection with this course. The invention of AVG invisibility glass relates to both social issues that the efficiency of CCTV in public places might be reduced and it will become harder to stop discrimination, also ethical issue that the privacy of a person might be protected. The use of technology that relates to infrared LED light is also worth further learning and investigating.

The reason I chose this particular article is that the speed of spread a thing on the internet is extremely fast. The colour of dress became a popular question because the power of internet. People all around the world gather together to discussion. I think this might be the strength of social network.

I find this interesting since i found out about this originally through word of mouth in the form of someone telling me about it face to face whereas allot of people are finding out about it through means of the internet. just an interesting connection between real life social systems and virtual ones.

very interesting article Daniel. But make sure to use new articles as with technology things change very quickly. This article was dated 2010. But good start.

NBC Universal's Oxygen Media recently conducted a survey, asking 1,605 women versed and immersed in social media about their habits with Facebook, Twitter and other such services. And while you would expect there to be some level of addiction there, the results are actually quite staggering.

I found this Very Interesting, I can see how working at home has it's benefits, however I feel you'd get more done at work, as your in a working environment and so more stimulated. Even if you don't do as much you would be more active. funnily this is like the difference between a house cat and an outdoor cat. It all about the environment you live in, and work in.

Agree! there are some limitations with teleworking.I also think you will miss the social life of working from an office

I found this article interesting, however I can't imagine myself working from home, I get distracted as it is with my computer always luring me to it. However it is interesting to notice how teleworking is increasing but not booming as many would expect it to be.

Voting electronically is only possible in four of the 26 cantons in the next election: Geneva, Basel City, Lucerne and Neuchâtel In a press release last month, the government said an audit of the electronic voting system developed by American company Unisys revealed major security flaws in the protection of voting secrecy.

The article is about how e-voting Switzerland, and how the government there is not allowing the entire country to use American companies e-voting, as they believe they can be hacked into. The main issues that come from it is reliability of these machines and if you can trust the Companies that own them. With these machines (e-voting) they have the problem of being hacked, which instead of causing problems for a small percentage of votes, can cause a major problem for the entire thing. There is also the problem of the people who own the company, and the reliability with them. They have control of the machines and in doing so, have control of the votes within them. This means they can alter votes in favor of the one side that benefits them more, or can sell this ability to the highest bidder. One way to solve this problem is that you develop local open software. In conjunction with this openness of this software, you hold mini rewards for people who can break/hack the system and then explain how they did it. The primary stakeholders are the citizens as their choices/votes are the main target here. The government as trying to get the most accurate feeling of what the people want. The It systems the article describes are those of; e-voting machines as well as mentioning web-based voting.

In fact, Trump coverage alone almost doubled all the other GOP candidate coverage. An analysis for CNN's "Reliable Sources" showed that Trump talk totaled 36 minutes and 30 seconds on nightly newscasts from NBC, ABC and CBS. The next-closest candidate was Jeb Bush, who received 9 minutes and 22 seconds of coverage.

Scenario: the shortest most accurate scenario is that voting machines are terrible choice as they are now. The longer version is that the old rules for security will either have to change or there will be major security issues such as vote auditing will have to be done with software which has to be checked and the software checking that has to be checked. or if votes are kept anonymous there is no way of knowing if 30% of votes were deleted then filled with fake ones. Social ethical issues: If the technology is compromised then it allows the peoples opinion to be hidden by stronger powers. This can lead to dictatorships or buying victories instead of winning them. It systems: the ease of computers also allows for ease of changing things. This means that there is no way (yet) to separate the pros from the cons . Stakeholders: Political parties, business, hackers, countries

senario: Big companies are patenting software either that they don't owen or is to broad this means that if any developer find//wants to make an actuall solution they either get sued or have to pay the companies money to use the patient. Social/ethical: THis means that fat cats make money while there is still no actual solotion to these problems. Stake Holder: developers and big buissniess

As email, documents, and almost every aspect of our professional and personal lives moves onto the "cloud"-remote servers we rely on to store, guard, and make available all of our data whenever and from wherever we want them, all the time and into eternity-a brush with disaster reminds the author and his wife just how vulnerable those data can be.

Scenario: Here a women's Gmail account was hacked in this article, and the hack spammed her contacts with the general message about her being mugged outside her country and needs help, with her bank details there for money transfer. Social Ethical issues: The main issues here are security, as her Gmail account may contain personal information, which could be used to steal money. Hacking is a major problem when it comes to security of personal information. Trust is another problem, as how can you trust anything online, as it is easy to impersonate someone else. IT system: Email system by Google here is the main IT source and is in the end responsible for the security of her account. Stakeholder: Google and the owner of the gmail account.

In light of the recent discussions on self-driving Cars, this is an interesting read on what the cars are capable of (not global domination.)
