Lithium battery danger on planes sparks debate - Travel - News - msnbc.com - 0 views

  •  
    Why are batteries environmentally hazardous? Because lithium batteries contain metal that will spontaneously ignite if exposed to air. Also, the negative and positive poles on some lithium batteries are close together, leading more easily to short circuit which can cause fire. Explain the issue of safety versus cost. The issue of safety here is that if the lithium batteries are improperly package, damage or have manufacturing defects, they can short circuit and ignite. Overheated lithium batteries can blow the lids off steel shipping containers and damage a plane. Once a battery catches fire, the heat can set off other batteries. Obama administration proposed rules but they are opposed by many because they say the rules would cost them hundreds of millions of dollars in added packaging, paperwork and training for employees. It will also mean delays in getting medical equipment to patients and would drive up the cost of shipments.

Describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Security is the main issue in this article since it is dealing with worms, which infects and damage computer files. 4. Describe the relationship of the main stakeholders to the IT system. The main stakeholder, Facebook, is combating Koobface worm, which is, a malware (malicious software) to prevent it from infecting its users PC. 5. Explain the relationship between the IT system and the social/ethical issue identified in question 3. Koobface worm is a malware that could infect Facebook's users' computer, which is a security issue. It is estimated that the group earned more than $2 million from June 2009 to June 2010 by delivering the victims of its worm to unscrupulous marketers and makers of fake antivirus software. 6. Discuss at least one problem that relates to the impacts of the social/ethical issue. A Koobface attack starts with an invitation to watch a video and a message about updating the computer's Flash software. Clicking to get the update begins the download of Koobface, which gives criminals control of the computer, while the worm tries to spread itself further through the victim's social network contacts. This is a security breach to Facebook's users computer. When the criminals have control of the computer, they can do anything they want with it like, stealing personal information, etc. 7.

    1. Explain the issues that are in common with both Amazon and Sony? Issues that are in common with both Amazon and Sony are their reliability and integrity as well as its security. Amazon has just revealed that its Availability Zone in northern Virginia has failed to accommodate customers that were using their services. Sony's hack incident includes its network protection system to be unreliable. Also the security of Amazon's customer's data along with Sony's online users' data is at risk, as well as sensitive information linked to bank accounts. Both Sony and Amazon suffer a setback on their online reputation. Both companies have their servers down which affect a lot of their customers using their services. They both revived worries about the safety of storing and processing data over the Internet. The two crises have also raised questions about the speed and quality of information provided by tech companies when confronted with systems failures. This further links to the data integrity. Amazon users have said that some data may be corrupted or loss resulting from their sites crashing. Sony's users' accounts data may have been altered by unauthorized people. 2. Explain the reasons that cloud computing will continue to grow? Cloud computing will still continue to grow despite its recent incidents because the benefits users receive outweigh the risks that come with cloud computing. The outage suffered by Amazon has been rare. Also, managing one's own network is hardly a guarantee of reliability; it costs a lot of money and is high maintenance. Cloud computing provides another alternative that can save costs for businesses. Also, the recent incidents have proven that managing one's own network is not as reliable as some think considering protection issues and failure/crashes in the network itself. 3. What could have prevented Sony from getting hacked? Sony could have increased its protection system, as well as create random simulations in orde
