Technology can bring ethical considerations..


I had to answer a question for class today regarding "technology and whether business can be blinded to ethical considerations because of it". I believe it has become rather easy to look the other way, too easy in fact. People look at you funny when you say lyou are going to buy a computer program, CD or DVD because they go hey why are you doing that, why don't you go see so and so, he can burn you a copy... or something like that. This can be for something as little as I like a particular song ( you used to be able to get from Napster...) or I want to make a copy of my DVD because I don't want it to get scratched up. Don't get me wrong I think technology is great. I can still remember what it was like not to have it, but I don't think my kids can. I just think people ought to consider what is the right thing to do when these times or opportunities come about.
