Scary! After this video I surely don't want to order another pizza. The social and ethical issue here is surely privacy. With only one phone call, people can "wire into the system" and be able to view this type of personal information. Plus, if this is in 2005, nowadays not only we can figure out this information, but also more! Privacy is becoming a great issue as we are seeing that as technology is increasing, the less privacy we have, more people are starting to be able to access people's personal information. Relating to this videos, solutions that could apply could be: 1. When ordering a pizza, instead of calling from your mobile phone or home phone, call from the nearest phone booth to your house an order to somewhere near your house. Yet, don't give any personal information such as home address or mobile phone number. 2. Don't order! Go to the pizzaria and buy your pizza straight from the restaurant. In this way, you surely don't have to give any personal information so that you'll have more privacy than if you called from your phone.

The social and ethical issue here is surely privacy. We can see here that there are various databases which are interconnected and the pizza restaurant is able to access all of them. This is a major issue as the pizza restaurant can invade the customers privacy and use the data to exploit the customer e.g. the pizza restaurant may see that the customer is wealthy and charge a higher price. Furthermore, If anyone else can gains access to this information the customers safety can be put at risk for instance, the pizza service knows whether or not you are at home therefore this could increase home robberies.

i think this can even be considered dangerous. There could be a scenario where a young and wealth girl places the pizza offer. what could happen then is the person on the phone would know all her private information where she lives, where she works/studies her income and would probably end up with a picture of her. the person on the phone might not be a very reliable person and decide to do something dangerous

The main social and ethical in this article would have to be authenticity, as it deals with the fact that people are making accounts to be real people. In my own experience I've had this happen to me once and it was easily identified for the reasons this article states, no status updates etc. Although in my case it was harmless, it can lead to issues of a greater significance. This article also highlights the worrying ease at which people can fake an accout and that there is a very significant number of these accounts. They could in some cases be used in a harmful manner. For example, sexual predators could easily make a profile pretending to be 15 years old, add a profile picture of a child and then add other children as friends. This creates a security issue as the children's life is in a potentially harmful situation, as these cases of sexual predators over the internet has been a security issue since social networks came to be. Another issue that lack of authenticity brings is that these fake accounts could be used for spam, and could also potentially be used to spread malware. This is a very common problem in Facebook as these fake accounts can share a link with their "friends" and from this it starts spreading throughout the entire social network.

Digital Inclusion: In some circles, the term digital divide is itself defunct. Instead, using digital inclusion is not only a way to reframe the discourse in a more positive light but also reflective of what access, adoption, and literacy in the digital world really mean today. Students who are excluded from the digital universe know exactly what they're missing

"The question is not whether we can get an iPod into every kid's hand. It's whether communities can leverage the capacity of networks to make learning more authentic and powerful for students." It's not just word processing, but blogging and tweeting; not just a class project, but an international student collaboration; not reinventing the wheel every time, but tapping into a professional-learning community that shares ideas and resources.

How do we define digital access when the price of personal computers and related technologies has dropped dramatically over the years?
