"Because technology moves faster than rules can be formulated to govern it, how technology is
used is often left up to the individual and the guidance of his or her personal ethics. Ethical
considerations are never clear-cut. They‘re complex and reasonable people can have different,
yet equally valid views."
What, in your opinion are some examples of how technology is being used unethically? What are
some examples of how technology can support ethical behavior? What ethical behaviors do you
think are most often ignored by people when using technology?
