INTRODUCTION

Ethics in technology is a sub-field of ethics addressing the ethical questions specific to the

Technology Age. Some prominent works of philosopher Hans Jonas are devoted to ethics of

technology

Security: With tools like the internet, hackers have found it very easy to hack into any computer

or system as long as it is connected on internet. Hackers can easily use an IP (Internet Protocol)

address to access a user’s computer and collect data for selfish reasons. Also the wide spread of

internet cookies which collect information whenever we use the internet , has exposed IT users to

high risks of fraud and conflicting interests

Copyright Infringement: Information technology has made it easy for users to access any

information or artifact at any given time.  With the increased development of music sharing

networks and photo bookmarking sites, many original creators of these works are losing the

credibility of their works, because users of IT can easily gain access and share that data with

friend’s works.

Citizen journalism: Citizen Journalism is a concept describing citizens who wish to act as a

professional journalist or media person by "collecting, reporting, analyzing, and disseminating

news and information”. The internet has provided society with a modern and accessible public

space. Due to the openness of the internet, there are discernible effects on the traditional

profession of journalism.
Pregnancy screening technology: For over 40 years, newborn screening has been a triumph of

the 20th century public health system. Through this technology, millions of parents are given the

opportunity to screen for and test a number of disorders, sparing the death of their children or

complications such as mental retardation. However, this technology is growing at a fast pace,

disallowing researchers and practitioners from being able to fully understand how to treat

diseases and provide families in need with the resources to cope.
