Wendy : A Very Simple Job

It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity”, these are the quotes of the famous German physicist Albert Einstein in relation to how the world has become overly reliant on technology. As a result, we have taken nature for granted while also ignoring the adverse effects of technology. The making of steam engine, the usage of fossil fuel and the creation of chlorofluorocarbon are all technologies which has benefited us greatly and are continuing to do so, but like everything on this earth there are always negatives to counter the positives This is the balance that we must find between nature and humans.

In his paper, Fried writes that trust is bought through “moral capital” (Fried 484). This moral capital is bought by revealing information that might otherwise be kept private to a friend, loved one, or individual whose trust the informer would like to gain. Moral capital is the trust that an individual will treat another with morality meaning, according to Fried, that they will“[respect] the basic rights of the other” (Fried 479). Fried also states that, “There can be no trust where there is no possibility of error,” suggesting that without privacy there can be no trust as privacy creates the risk of confidential information being disclosed by the receiver of said information (Fried 486). The idea that privacy creates trust has only become more evident with the rise of the internet. In their paper, “Young people online and the social value of privacy,” George Mason University professor Priscilla Regan and University of Ottawa professor Valerie Steeves explore how young people’s understanding and value of privacy has been shaped by the internet. The two found that while young people understand that information posted on the internet can be viewed by family members and the public, they trust that others will follow the unwritten social rules of the internet–essentially that they will act with morality–and respect their privacy by not looking at posts not directed at them (Regan and Steeves 302). This example shows that despite the interconnectedness

To conclude, the choices that humans make with technology affect this Earth. It could either be a negative outcome like destruction or it could be positive and be a spark of a new hope. As this society continues with these old ways which have already exceeded our humanity, they are just creating more destruction. If humankind can change these ways, there could be hope for a fresh start, and a new beginning. All in all, let’s stop this technology from exceeding humanity and begin

Also, another concern is human reliance on technology for any/all problems. Society seems to believe that technology can solve any

The article called, The End of Privacy by Adam L. Penenberg, demonstrates the easy access an intruder can have to someone’s private information in today’s digital world with just a few taps on the keyboard, and a phone. Making your private information unprotected and defenseless. Penenberg also describes transition from mainframe computers to desktop PCs making private information vulnerable. He also reveals that marketers and busybodies have more customer data than ever. He also illustrates the advances of search methods that cyber criminals have up their sleeve, how the misrepresent themselves in order to puncture through the credit bureaus, and the Federal reserve database, spilling out all of your financial information, social security,

Spoke with the tenant Wendy Spencer today, 9/23/2015 at 3:00 pm regarding the water bill notice she received state that the water is scheduled to be shut off due to no payment received. Per the lease agreement the tenant is not responsible for the water this is included in the rent. Ms. Spencer sated that there are some concerns with water leakage however, when she spoke with maintenance Ms. Jackie on Tuesday, 9-22-15 the tenant failed to relay information. The following concerns are:

Many of Bradbury’s concerns, such as privacy issues, have become a reality. Some communities have begun adopting a new form of technology which monitors people's electronics and "can also capture texts, calls, emails and other data, and prosecutors have received court approval to use it for such purposes" (Richtel). People are not given the information needed to understand how invasive this technology really is, causing many privacy concerns for people. In addition to authorities starting to invade your privacy, private corporations have also begun raising many privacy concerns. One smart television company told its customers to "be aware that if your spoken words include personal or other sensitive information, that information will be among the data captured and transmitted to a third party" (Newman). This invasion of people's privacy raised many concerns, and eventually became a reality when "when hackers demonstrated the ability to take over televisions with built-in cameras and microphones" (Newman). Even though the creators of this technology may not have meant for this to happen, this device has caused a great deal of both privacy concerns and even safety for some. As well as the privacy concerns it causes, technology has also begun to impair people's social skills. One person noticed "dozens of people riding the subway, deeply absorbed in their smartphones, oblivious to the world around them. They all seem much more comfortable interacting with their devices than with one another" (Wortham). Although some people believe their phones make them much more efficient workers and help with long distance communication, many can argue that the constant distractions because of the pings, notifications, and messages can prevent people from focusing in the task at hand and interacting with the world around the mall (Wortham).

Overuse of technology and our obsession with trying to create new gadgets to make our lives easier, will contribute to our downfall of human society and the destruction of

We are the creators of technology and what we have created is what will inevitably destroy us. This century is filled with people capable of taking control of our resources but we should first be taking control of what we created. Technology is now controlling this centuries

Technological advancements have effected humans in many different ways from texting to the creation of monsters. Even though some technological advancements may at first seem to positively impact society, once they progress to interfering with the greater good of human beings the progress becomes negative.

who use it is something that should not be stopped, however should individuals blindly accept

People rely so much more on technology without realizing that could be their doom. Hackers and identity thieves are all over the world nowadays and it's easier to get information on the internet than in person. People should know that the worldwide web won't hide their secrets, only they themselves can. Many people have lost money because hackers have found their credit card numbers and people have tapped phones. They should be wary that these devices can ruin their lives. Often times, gullible people trust the wrong things because it says you can trust them. Even if someone or something says it can keep secrets, it most likely won't. In a lot of movies you can see the villain torturing and threatening people to give up the secrets told to them and even though they do their best not to tell, the pain is intolerable so they finally give up. There are many applications and websites that say you can trust them with secrets but the truth is that people can get information from the web easily. Whatever you put in the internet can never be completely deleted. Things aren't always what they seem, so keep what's private to yourself. People should try harder to keep what they deem secret,

Wendy Swan. Interestingly, there is an extreme likelihood that the court would consider the need for recent college graduates in this case to fall under bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ). Due to the fact that the first job “requires complicated engineering knowledge and the second leaves little chance for advancement without a college degree” (Bennett-Alexander & Hartman, 2015, p. 136). Albeit, there may be another viewpoint entirely a stated below.

Techno-optimist or techno-pessimist? That is the question. Technology throughout time has no doubt changed our way of life. Travelling to destinations quicker, curing new diseases, or figuring out how to cease a wide famine are examples of how technology has made advances over time. The solutions that scientists create spark a tool that others cannot live without. But what if these technologies bring out negative effects rather than their desired purpose? Sometimes, innovators create new inventions that bring unintended consequences. It could range from less communication face to face, side effects from new medicines, or pollute the earth’s atmosphere.

Or can you?’ (p67-68). This is a clear indication, that man should stop overlying on technology to solve all problems. It is however, not true that all technology is bad. Most of it is good until it is used for the wrong reasons.
