 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

Q1. There is usually a positive side and a negative side to each new
technological improvement. Select a technology you use every day
and consider its benefits and risks. What benefits does the
Technology provide? Are there any risks involved and, if so, how
can they be minimized? If you Chose Not to use this technology
because of the possible risks associated with it, how would your
Life be Affected? Who should determine if the benefits of a new
technology outweigh the potential risks? Consumers? The
government?
Ans: Once the technology that I using in my everyday life is my smart
phone there is benefits of using smart phone also some potential risk
that are given below:
BENEFITS:
Communication: I can easily communicate with my friends and
family and other people’s by using smart phone by phone calls,
Whatsapp or the messaging apps.
Getting knowledge: using smart phones I can quickly get information
on internet from wheather news update etc.
Entertainment: I entertain myself by using smart phone by playing
games, music, videos.
Productivity: With various apps and tools, I can use my smart phone
for task such as note taking, calender management, email access
which can increase my productivity.
RISKS:
Cyber security threats: Smart phones are endangered to cyber
attacks by hacking, malware, and pishing which can leak my personal
information.
Addiction: Addiction of smart phone can lead to over use which can
distrupt my mental health and interpersonal relationships.
Distraction: Using smart phone while driving vehicle can cause
dangerous accident.
by installing security through software update and minimize useage
of smart phone can avoid addiction and distraction through these
methods the risk of smart phones can be overcome
If I chose not to use a smartphone because of the potential risks
associated with it, my life would be Significantly affected. I would
lose the convenience of instant communication, access to
information, Entertainment, and productivity tools that I currently
rely on.Determining whether the benefits of a new Technology
outweigh the potential risks is a complex issue that should involve
both consumers and the Government. Consumers should have
access to accurate information about the potential risks and Benefits
of a new technology, and be able to make informed decisions about
whether to use it or not.The government should regulate and
oversee the development and use of new technologies to ensure
They are safe and beneficial for consumers.
Q2. The ubiquitous nature of mobile phones today brings
tremendous convenience to our lives, but Will misuse of new
improvements to this technology result in the loss of that
convenience? For instance, Camera phones are now banned in
many fitness centers, park restrooms, and other simi-lar facilities
Because some people have used them inappropriately to take
compromising photos, and mobile phones Are banned in many
classrooms because of the disruption of constant text messaging
and the use of the Phone by dishonest students to cheat on exams.
Do you think these reactions to mobile phone misuse Are justified?
Is there another way to ensure the appropriate use of mobile
phones without banning Their use for all individuals? Should there
be more stringent consequences for those who use technology For
illegal or unethical purposes?
Ans.. The ubiquitous nature of mobile phones today brings

Reactions to mobile phone misuse Are justified? Is there another way
to ensure the appropriate use Of mobile phones without banning
Their use for all individuals? Should there be more stringent
Consequences for those who use technology For illegal or unethical
purposes?Misuse of technology, including mobile phones, can
indeed lead to the Loss of convenience that they bring. For example,
inappropriate use of camera phones has led to the Banning of these
devices in some facilities, and the constant use of mobile phones in
classrooms has led To their ban as well. While these reactions to
mobile phone misuse may seem extreme, they are often Justified in
preventing further inappropriate or disruptive behavior.However,
instead of outright banning Mobile phone use, there could be
alternative measures put in place to ensure appropriate usage. For
Example, fitness centers and park restrooms could provide signs that
remind users of appropriate phone Usage and request that they
refrain from taking photos in sensitive areas. Similarly, in classrooms,
Teachers could enforce rules that limit phone usage during lectures
and exams and set clear Consequences for those who violate these
rules.There should also be more stringent consequences for Those
who use technology for illegal or unethical purposes. For example, if
someone uses their mobile Phone to take photos of others without
their consent, they should face legal consequences for violating
Privacy laws. Similarly, if students use their phones to cheat on
exams, they should face disciplinary Action.In summary, while it is
important to ensure that mobile phones are used appropriately,
outright Bans may not always be the best solution. Alternative
measures can be put in place to discourage Inappropriate behavior,
and more stringent consequences should be imposed for those who
usetechnology for illegal or unethical purposes
