AS ICT and A2 ICT Ethics scenario 4

Jennie’s sister needs to leave the computer to take laundry from the dryer. While she is gone, Jennie finds she has been working on an email to her best friend and that her email program is still open. She checks to see what sis has to say.

Questions

  • Whose privacy is at risk?
  • What danger or discomfort might the unethical or unwise action cause?
  • How do public libraries help insure the privacy of patrons while on-line?
  • Should schools do the same? Is there a parallel in the physical world to this scenario?
  • Can you think of other incidents that would fall into this category?
