Topic 1: Electronic Surveillance and the Bodyguard “Jon Kiggwe is a young aggressive entrepreneur, with a bright future. With several businesses doing well and a few start-ups with promising financial status, Jon is on his way to making a million dollars before his 25th birthday. Jon’s business meetings take him into tough neighbourhoods. So, for him to feel secure, Jon uses a team of professional security bodyguards to shadow him almost 24 hours a day”. “In his big 10 million dollar home, Jon receives a stream of guests, including both business associates and friends. His bodyguards, besides keeping an eye on him, also see to the orderly arrival and departure of the guests. Because of this, the bodyguards keep a permanent office and sleeping quarters at Jon’s mansion”. “Without informing them, Jon installed video recording and listening gadgets in the guards’ office and sleeping quarters to record their every conversation and movement. He feels safe that way!” [Source: Kizza J.M. History of Computing. In: Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age, 2010, Texts in Computer Science.

BN201 Professional Issues of Information Technology Page 5 of 5 Prepared by: Min P Gurung Moderated by: Dr Karthik Nagarajan May, 2021 Topic 2: Who Will Pay the Price for Flawed Software? “Peter Efon works as a programmer for a major software company. The company, Cybersoft, is launching itself to be a major Internet-based platform developer and it is soon to launch a web initiative. Peter is involved in the development of a crucial component of the initiative. The company has trust in Peter for he has worked for it since he left college 15 years ago. Since his arrival at the company, Peter has pioneered a number of major software development projects. Peter has followed, and is very much aware of, the losses suffered by other businesses due to defective software. He even knows that in 2000, US companies suffered a whopping $100 billion loss due to bad software. He and his company, Cybersoft, are determined to target quality as the major focus of their new web initiative. Peter dreams of the success of the web initiative and the recognition it might bring both to his company and him. However, a few days before the launch of the much-awaited initiative, as Peter makes his final quality checks, he discovers a flaw in the core component of the initiative whose magnitude he could not determine. To do so would mean a few weeks delay at best, a major blow to the company’s efforts. The company had mounted an advertising blitz on all major media outlets. Even a few weeks delay would cause major financial losses and the public’s loss of confidence in the right company. This must never happen. Peter decides to see to it”. [Source: Kizza J.M.

Discussion : 
Information and communication technology often faces large amounts of ethical issues and security violations. One of the major ethical issues which arises from the use of ICT is one’s personal privacy. The information and communication industry makes sure that people have their own devices such as personalized hardware, operating systems etc which are often connected to their fellow teammates using internet or local area networks. When this network distribution scales to a larger scale, there is often a chance for disclosing private information which inturn violates the privacy of either an individual or a group.
