Class activities in April 2010 with guest speakers

In the month of April we discussed Ethics in IT and Societal Impacts. Our instructor invited a few guests to come to our class and discuss different ethical issues with IT and talk about technology in general.

One guest was a lawyer in capitol hill who discussed the ethical issues with Facebook, cell phones and also Google technologies. We talked about how Google is planning to scan all the books that were ever published and how it might raise the concerns about copy right violations. We also talked about piracy of MP3 music and other medias.

Another guest came from a IT think tank group. He made a presentation on the importance of IT and technologies.
