Question

(Taken from Ethics for the Information Age book) • Think about the last piece of consumer electronics you purchased. How did you first learn about it? What factors (features, price, ease of use, etc) did you weigh before you purchased it? Which of these factors were most influential in your purchase decision? Are you still happy with your purchase? • Consider a small business that is the victim of a cryptographic ransomware attack. The business does not have adequate backup files, and the cost of paying the ransom is much lower than the expected cost of continuing operations without the encrypted files and recreating the necessary records. Discuss the morality of the owner choosing to pay the ransom in order to recover the business’s files. • Are they any technologies that you wish had never been adopted? If so, which ones? Why?
