• What ethical implications arise from the capturing, sharing and transferring of information via IT devices ( e.g. mobile phones) or systems (e.g. internet)

Mobile phones and internet are a media that have become both a useful tool to support and sustain life and on the other hand quite intrusive and invasive in our personal lives.
For instance there are great examples of mobile phones being abe to capture images of bullying amonst kids at school and therefore recording some socila evils that exist, and the guilty party can be brought to justice.
The flip side is that mobile phones can also captur images of people being in the wrong place at the wrong time.....etc. !! wives can track errant and cheating husbands with their mobile phones, which can be very intrusive, i suppose!!
The computer is another media which is widely misused to create virtual reality that is not true and people start living double lives.
The need to take consent and permission is totally ignored and people take advantage of this and use it for their benifit or their sick obsession.
Due to this sick obsession and callous atttitude much social evil has arisen, there have been instances where this has caused such anguish that people have lost their lives due to the mental stress and torture they have felt.
Marriges have broken up due to the negative use of the informattion being shared around via the internet.
There is no respect shown to one anothers private and personal life. The sensitivity and the gentleness of human contact and socialising has been lost.
