The widespread availability of mobile phones now provides enormous convenience, but may its abuse lead to the loss of this benefit? Mobile phones are banned in many classrooms due to the distraction of constant texting and the use of the phone by dishonest students to cheat on exams; similarly, camera phones are now banned in many fitness centers, park restrooms, and other similar facilities because some people have used them inappropriately to take compromising photos. What do you think about these responses to cell phone abuse? Is universally prohibiting cell phone use the only solution, or are there alternative methods to assure responsible usage? Should individuals who exploit technology in a dishonest or immoral way face harsher penalties?

Driverless cars have the ability to provide many benefits, from helping the elderly remain independent to reducing the number of road accidents. However, disasters can still happen and someone needs to be held accountable. Who should pay the damages – the car owner, the car producer, the government, some other entity? Discuss your thoughts on this technology, whether you find it useful, necessary, unnerving, interesting, etc. and who you think should be liable for accidents involving driverless cars.
In lecture we discussed the concept of the "good team" and the "bad team." The idea of right and wrong can often get skewed in the minds of individual actors. They may believe they are fighting for the right cause, such as when hackers associated with Anonymous took down the Russian news site RT News, a media outlet largely viewed as propaganda, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These hackers utilized illegal tactics to take down a government run news agency, in a classic argument of "the ends justifies the means." Although you may agree with what this "hacktivist" team did, consider the second and third order effects. Were people unable to get weather updates? Was any portion of emergency broadcasts disrupted due to this hack? How many more attacks will Russian sponsored hackers execute in response?
