Write a 750-900 word essay discussing the interaction between government and technology regarding one of these specific issues: net neutrality, security, surveillance, voting, or warfare.
You should discuss the ethical issues and logistical tradeoffs that arise from this interaction. What are the benefits to society? Are there any unintended consequences? What is acceptable behavior for both the government and civilian groups when using this technology? You should also discuss how how such technology effects the relationship between government and its civilian population, and what core understandings of this technology the civilian population must have to make informed decisions. Also consider ways we as computer scientists can help spread understandable, accurate information related to this topic. Remember to substantiate all arguments and opinions with external citations. You will peer-review one other student essay as part of this assignment. Be prepared to present your essay later in the week. |
