    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.

  • "I think it should be of real concern to consumers. If you translate it into monetary terms, it has to be in the millions of dollars. "The implications from a study like this are massive. Consumers in New Zealand are not making enough noise about it yet," he said. In one case, a supermarket offered bottles of coke for 99c, but displayed the wrong size bottles under the sign, and charged the shopper $3.

      These paragraphs talk about the implications that the technology error caused in the society.
  • In another, a cooked chicken was advertised on sale for $6.99, but the original price of $11.99 was charged at the checkout. In this case, Pickering said, the mistake was spotted and the customer was given the chicken for free. But more often, retailers respond badly when errors are pointed out. Shoppers who took part in the study reported sales people "rolling their eyes" when asked for a refund, having to fill out forms to get a $2 overcharge returned, and being offered cash refunds only when the original purchase was by credit card. "The errors are happening right across the retail area, particularly large-scale stores," Pickering said. "When you're pumping 100 items through a till, it's much easier to make a mistake and much more difficult for the customer to keep up with the things flying through the scanner."

  • Pickering said he'd like to see companies here make efforts to solve the problem. "There's an opportunity for these big businesses to say, 'The problem exists, we haven't been able to sort it out completely, but we going to do something about it'."

    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.
