Explanation of Solution
“Yes”, the government monitoring is good owing to computerization and automated system of communication but that should be within the limits so that it does not fringe the basic right to privacy of citizens.
Government regulation of internet and computer technologies:
With the rising threat of terrorism, theft and home grown criminals, it is safer for the citizens to be monitored and have proper surveillance by government.
Government surveillance makes a country safer against the terrorists, thieves, criminals and other violent persons.
Too much surveillance, especially in the form of wearable cameras and computers, is detrimental and leaves people without any privacy in public...

Nanotechnology has the potential to have a large influence on the treatment of sickness, the mending of damaged cells, and even the slowing down of the ageing process. These are all areas in which the process of ageing is slowed down. If anything like this took place, would it have any kind of effect on the rest of society?
In what ways do you think AI will affect the future as we know it? What already available software makes use of AI? Is it scary to think of living in a world populated by more intelligent machines?
Can you tell me what an ADT is and how it works to get things done? Is it possible that administering ADT could have some kind of effect? Can you think of any other way that people's genes help them deal with problems?

- Can we expect a radical shift in society as a result of AI? What are some popular programs that make use of AI today? Is it terrifying to contemplate what AI may become in the future?arrow_forwardAs a consequence of technological advancements like the internet, are we seeing a society that is becoming more peaceful or one that is becoming more divided?arrow_forwardAs the evidence on the adverse effects of cigarette smoke grew, people tried many different ways to quit smoking. Some people tried chewing tobacco or, as it was called, smokeless tobacco. A small amount of tobacco was placed between the cheek and gum. Certain chemicals from the tobacco were absorbed into the bloodstream and gave the sensation of smoking cigarettes. This prompted studies on the adverse effects of smokeless tobacco. One study in particular used 40 university students as subjects. Twenty were given smokeless tobacco to chew, and twenty given a substance that looked and tasted like smokeless tobacco, but did not contain any of the harmful substances. The students were randomly assigned to one of the groups. The students' blood and heart rate were measured before they started chewing and 20 minutes after they had been chewing. A significant increase in heart rate occurred in the group that chewed the smokeless tobacco. Answer the following questions. a. What type of study…arrow_forward

These are all areas in which the process of aging is slowed down. If anything like this took place, would it have any kind of effect on the rest of society?arrow_forwardMachines may be programmed to mimic human intelligence. What, if any, applications do you see as warranting the acceleration of work on such computers?Is there anything we definitely shouldn't put into play? Why?arrow_forward
- What are the implications for society and ethics brought about by the rise of artificial intelligence and robotics? Would it be simpler for us to live our lives if we allowed robots to take over all of our occupations in the long run?arrow_forwardNumerous ordinary devices, such as amusement park attractions, automobiles, elevators, and ovens, among others, are now connected to a computer or information system. While there are certain advantages, are there also risks? For instance, would you feel more or less secure riding a computer-controlled roller coaster? Or would you feel secure enough traveling in a Tesla equipped with auto-drive? Do the advantages of expanding the computerization of common things outweigh the risks? What are your reasons for or against?arrow_forwardIt's because computers have progressed so far. Is there a way to prove that computer usage has increased throughout the country's classrooms over the last several decades?arrow_forward
- Robots may be designed to do dangerous, offensive, or time-consuming activities instead of humans. Do you think robots might be better at a certain job than humans? This work should be delegated to a computer rather than a human, according to your opinion.arrow_forwardWith the advancement in technology, computer related crimes are taking birth rapidly. One day, a hacker stole the data from one of the computers being used in the bank and transferred confidential information to the opponents. After detectors found the criminal, all became surprised as he was no other but the assistant manager of the same bank. Keeping the scenario in mind, enlist all the reasons behind this immoral act and propose some suggestions to overcome such acts.arrow_forwardSome professions are too risky, insulting, or mundane for humans, therefore robots may be programmed to undertake them instead. If you believe a robot may be more efficient than a person in doing a certain work, please provide an example. Is there any particular reason why you think people would rather trust a machine with this responsibility rather than another human being?arrow_forward
