In-class post, 16/11/2006
Well continuing from Tuesday's class, with regards to topics relating to the impact that I.T has...
He started with some discussions about the project, about how the average mark was 42 out of 60, though he has to verify the marks with some last-minute adjustments, so we should be collecting them tomorrow...and the next assignment should be given soon, with the following details:
Propose the I.T components, that will take the company done in the last project, to show the IS components that will be operational for the company when it has launched fully. Details are relating to the hardware/software that will be used for these systems. This is relating to the design aspect, before implementation is actually started. A possible due date will be the 27th/28th of November.
Looking back at a bit of ethics, there is always a boundary that is often crossed when it comes to the privacy of a person, Brent made a post in his blog about how the company can claim that since the toilets are their property, they have a right to do anything related to such items, such as placing cameras in the toilets.
He then related with a recap of some of the impacts that IT would have on society as a whole, about how it makes people more knowledgeable, remote communication is significantly easier etc.
When it comes to crime and security, the levels of surveillance present is relatively low. As technology is used to try to reduce the levels of crime, the criminals are capable of using technology as well to find more complex methods of pursuing their objectives.
Security relates to risk management, and preparation for disasters that may occur. Some procedures relate to backup procedures, antivirus software, use of privacy screens, physical controls, software controls/restrictions etc.
Well we're done for now, time to run to tutorial class, so expect another post shortly.
