There has been much controversy about technology ethics. Where are the laws
to respect ones information through the use of technology? Employers have to respect
an interviewee religion, sexuality or political stance however is free to judge those upon
a quick glance of a social profile page. There arent any regulations for technology
because the laws arent capable of keeping up with the advances in technology. No one
has come to an understanding what is ethical or what should be regulated due to the
overwhelming and continuous technology. There have been arguments of the idea of
rights to be left alone, to private property, leading to foundation of American privacy
law. Where data has been collected from applications like Google Play, Apple,
Facebook, etc. where does the line drawn for what is legal and ethical?
Googles search engine gave the most relevant and most current articles closest
to my topic for ethic technology. There were plenty of reliable resources to use. As for
Bings search engine it was just as good as Google a lot of resources and articles to use
and cite. There were all kinds of information like news, journals, videos, etc. that was
given right on topic. Google and Bing pretty much goes hand in hand as both search
engines were useful. In contrast, Yahoo gives poor sources to use, I wouldnt
recommend anyone to use it because the options are usually off topic and information is
irrelevant therefore not useful for anyones benefit.

proportion but gets the point across that

information from users even down to a
simple conversation

reasons and gives examples about
