Ethics and digital technologies

It started with designing my own book cover, which was really difficult as I wanted to make it too wordy, and finding images that expressed my feelings took some time.

And from there I wanted to create a collection of some of the debates that are currently happening around the world.  And try to show how different problems are being approached. I realised that different countries are experiencing the same problems but are at different stages, for example, drone technology is more apparent in Australia and America than in Europe, hence they are beginning to legislate for them.  Whereas in the UK, it seems to be the view that government needs to lead the way in their own use of technologies and become models of good practice.  The debate is already starting in education, for example, with electronic assessment and how to make it ‘fair’.

But, for me, the really interesting topic is when new technologies become the subject of considered ethical discussion.  At the development stage by engineers and inventors? Or, at the end stage by users? What do you think?
