The Ethical issues with the IT industry


The Ethical issues on the IT industry

 

Social networking sites are there for the public, the vast majority of the world use thing like Facebook and twitter, others use either but not both and the very small minority don’t have any of them.

 

When something happens or something comes up then people broadcast it on a social network site to tell others about it

For example:

“Jake bugg concert….can’t wait”

This gets others involved and interested and this raises reputation on the things/people that are mentioned.

 

However as good as the news is about what people that are talking about, there are things that get out that shouldn’t have got out and this brings down the faith of the public, and the politicians are seen negatively because of the lack of information security.  For example the NSA leaks thanks to someone called Edward Snowdon.

 

Social networks are seen as an improvement on society and this creates relationships with other people who you wouldn’t have otherwise met or spoke to because they live too far away or they don’t tend to talk to you outside the chat room. What the people who use the social networks is that how pathetic they look when the computer decides to act slow and they start shouting that it is slow, or the internet goes down and they say they can’t cope without it… but now as time goes on more and more people are moving from Facebook to Twitter, Twitter is a social network that has started to take over Facebook.

 

What people don’t realise is that while we are on the internet the government is watching us and monitoring what we do, whether it is watching you favourite musician’s new music video or online shopping, they monitor it, however  they aren’t monitoring everyone all the time. What they do is they hack the IP address and see the sites that are visited in the space of the internet history.

 

Most of the time children and the elderly are the ones that miss out on things like internet shopping or playing educational games on the internet and so as a result of this, the elderly have more accidents with falling down when shopping, and the children fall behind in their work because they have a lack of interactive learning. Sites like TESCO direct, ASDA, Sainsbury’s and Morrison’s for the elderly getting their food delivered… and sites like

Those children can improve their maths skills and improve their intellect.
