Although the Internet has allowed quick expansion too many business sectors, the growth of such capabilities has also presented a different set of issues. Protecting intellectual property for these types of business transactions has proven to be more challenging than the startup of e-commerce trade. Legislatures have begun to educate themselves with priority, on the differences in commerce and e-commerce; but the effects from lack of proper ethics and security has caused many lawmakers to scramble for answers. The following article review will reveal what is becoming more apparent as consumers persistently demand e-commerce products and services.

...El-Achmar The Rights and Ethics of Employees with Respect to Privacy at Work Widespread use of electronic communications media such as e-mail and information resources such as the Internet has prompted many employers to engage in electronic surveillance of their employees. Employers are monitoring—and even recording—employees’ personal phone calls, e-mails, and workplace conversations. Video cameras are trained on employee parking lots, break areas, and other parts of the workplace. Today’s employers have the legal right to conduct search and seizure of employees’ personal property; monitor the employee’s telephone calls, workplace computer, Internet, fax use, and e-mail; perform employee drug testing; and conduct investigation and surveillance of employees. Electronic Surveillance The ethics of employee surveillance are problematic, because both the company and the employee have rights, and these rights can conflict. The employee owes the company a solid day’s work and protection of proprietary property and knowledge, but the employee can claim rights such as privacy, compensation for injury, freedom from harassment, and a living wage. Employees are often not aware of the fact that their e-mails are being read by their employers. Moreover, most employees are unaware of the extent to which their employers can and actually do monitor what they do. Studies indicated that worldwide, approximately 27 million employees workforce, are under continuous Internet or e-mail use surveillance...

The institutions traditionally procure, provide and control the technology for learning but now students are acquiring their own personal technologies for learning and institutions are challenged to keep pace. (ALT-J: Research in Learning Technology, v18 n2 p149-160 Jul 2010. 12 pp.). Computers and other technical devices that are being used to enhance student learning has made teaching more creative and effective but it has also caused a lot of confusion and chaos in regards to ethics. Once teachers only had to be concerned about the basic rules of classroom etiquette and they could govern their classroom visually. Now teachers have to implement rules and guidelines to ensure that technology in the classroom is being used for its intended purpose to protect students from lurking dangers that are unseen by the human eyes. Before one can understand the importance of employing internet security in the classroom, they must first know the issues that arise from the use of technology in the classroom. Some think of cell phones as just a convenient means of communication, whereas others see it as a way to lure innocent victims so that they can satisfy their own personal pleasures. Regarding the use of technology, social, legal, and moral issues have emerged as three major...

That is the definition given by The New Lexicon Webster's Dictionary of the English Language. So technology can be anything as long as it helps us advance. It can be anything like a plough to help a farmer, a television to help the media and the telephone to help us communicate. The latest technology of the 20th Century is the Internet and it has placed a great mark on our society.

The main three players are Apple’s QuickTime 4, Microsoft’s Windows Media 7, and RealNetworks’ RealVideo 8. Streaming video faces several key technical and business challenges. The key technical issues include Internet congestion, interoperability, and compression. Internet congestion slows the service for those with lower bandwidth connections. Interoperability becomes an issue because streaming-video technology has no standardization to become widespread for any user capability. Compression is an issue because data-compression algorithms are critical to providing quality video at lower transmission speeds (Lawton, 2013). The ramification from these issues starts with intellectual property, privacy, ethics, and security. Content providers will raise issue about privacy and distribution...
