IT Project Consumer Electronics

Question: Discuss about the IT Projectfor Consumer Electronics. Answer: Introduction to Ethical ICT Globalization has brought to us various benefits and we can all relate to the term digital convergence. Digital convergence is the term used for the conglomerate of four industry i.e. telecommunication, entertainment, consumer electronics and information technologies. But on the flip side, there are various negative societal, legal and ethical issues which are persisting which are direct result and output of the digital convergence and globalization. There are various issues which are raised and includes matters such as right to intellectual property, the right of accessing information, and also the privacy rights, etc. in Wagga Wagga, Australia (Millar, Udalov, Millar, 2012). The ICT help us in collecting and spreading information and thus as we have the basic right to live we also have the basic right to access it. With the emergence of digital technology, we have seen the violations such as cybercrime, privacy invasion, digital divide and digital security in parts such as Wagga W agga, Albury, Grifth in Australia. But on the brighter side ICT has enabled us to take up things which could never imagine was possible (McLean, 2011).

But it is that tough to act on the right things as it is quite difficult to determine the right things and at on them. There are instances when we think why we should be the one taking care of the ethics where others simply get away with unethical means such as using copied music files or software (Oosterlaken van den Hoven, 2011). The computer is one such thing which does put people in an ethical dilemma where the operator does have to face such a situation which they never came across. The basic principles of ethics do help us take proper decisions when we come across these tricky dilemmas. Ethical guidelines help us in thinking through varied options. Thus it does help us to have greater responsibility as well as more control over the content ownership while using someone elses system instead of our own (Kostakos Ferreira, 2015). The Australian government is well concerned about the matter and thus are keen o n undertaking strict steps regarding it. References Kostakos, V. Ferreira, D. (2015).
