TECHNOLOGIES FUNCTION/ROLES ETHICAL DILEMMAS
1.) Cellphone  a wireless telephone
using a system of low-
powered radio
transmitters, with each
transmitter covering a
distinct geographical
area, and computer
equipment to switch a call
from one area to another,
thus enabling broad-scale
portable phone service.
2.) Computers  Taking data and
instructions from a user,
processing the data as
per instructions, and
displaying or storing the
processed data. These
functions are also known
as the input function,
process function, output
function, and storage
function, respectively.
3.) Robot/ Robotics  Robots are widely used in
manufacturing, assembly,
packing and packaging,
mining, transport, earth
and space exploration,
surgery, weaponry,
laboratory research,
safety, and the mass
production of consumer
and industrial goods.
 Cell phone addiction
has been linked to
an increase in sleep
disorders and fatigue in
users. Using your cell
phone before bed
increases the likelihood
of insomnia. Bright light
may decrease sleep
quality. Smartphone use
could increase amount
of time it takes to fall
asleep.
 A computer that
suddenly shuts off or
has difficulty starting up
could have a failing
power supply. Increases
waste and impacts the
environment: With the
speed at that computer
and other electronics
get replaced, all of the
old devices that get
thrown away have a big
impact on the
environment. Health
Problems: Prolonged
use of computers can
lead to various health
Hazards
 Loss of job as robots
may be efficient in doing
repetitive tasks.
 Security threats like
recent drone attacks of
Kashmir.
 Existential threat to
humanity if these
Robots through
Machine learning
become much intelligent
than human beings.
4.) internet/ WIFI  A Wi-Fi network is
network simply an internet
connection that's shared
with multiple devices in a
home or business via a
wireless router. It
supports human
communication via social
media, electronic mail (e-
mail), “chat rooms,”
newsgroups, and audio
and video transmission
and allows people to work
collaboratively at many
different locations. It
supports access to digital
information by many
applications, including the
World Wide Web.
5.) Artificial  AI-powered machines
Intelligence AI can store and analyze
data to generate insights
such as trends, user
behaviors, business
insights, etc., to predict
events and make future
projections. AI can also
greatly mimic human
faculties of reading,
seeing, and speaking.
 Slow network. Users
complain the network is
too slow
 Weak Wi-Fi signal.
 Addiction, time-waster,
and causes distraction
 Bullying, trolls, stalkers,
and crime
 Spam and advertising
 Global inconsistencies
in internet availability
 AI Bias. Since AI
algorithms are built by
humans, they can have
built-in bias by those
who either intentionally
or inadvertently
introduce them into the
algorithm
 Loss of Certain Jobs
 A shift in Human
Experience
 Global Regulations
 Accelerated Hacking
 AI Terrorism
