Technology and Ethics

What gives you more satisfaction

"The Advanced Technology or the Ethical world

And Here Is The 'TRUTH'
With developments in technological security capability, employers can now monitor their employees’ activity on their computers and other company-provided electronic devices. Electronic surveillance is supposed to ensure efficiency and productivity, but when does it cross the line and become spying? Companies can legally monitor your company email and internet browser history; in fact, 66% of companies monitor internet connections, according to 2014 data from the American Management Association. 45% of employers track content, keystrokes and time spent on the keyboard, and 43% store and review computer files as well as monitor email. Overall, companies aren’t keeping this a secret: 84% told employees that they are reviewing computer activity. Employees should review the privacy policy to see how they are being monitored and consider if it can indicate a record of their job performance.
Companies also monitor employees through video cameras, which allows them to observe visually and record employee behavior and keep their work environment safe. According to a 2015 data Pew Research study, the majority of respondents (54%) found installing surveillance cameras that have facial recognition technology acceptable, with one participant stating, “It would keep the workplace safe and may also get the employees to perform their best.” Some employees were unsure and said it depended on how the footage is used while others completely disagreed: “Monitoring work by camera is insane,” and thought it would hinder rather than help work performance.

Here is a case related to technology and privacy

It is not ethical to take information about anyone about anything for any reason without taking the permission of that person...It is not ethical to touch the privacy of any one .... It is not ethical to use that information for the sake of ourselves or just to raise the business
Today's world when mostly everything depend upon the technology ...
That technology with which one can do whatever they want without thinking about the Ethics just for the self interest because they have the power to do that Like touching the Privacy of  the people who are working for them...
May be the client of a business man...
May be the patients of the hospital 
Not only the privacy is being affected by the Technology...
Some times it become the reason for some experiment which  leads to the painful Disasters
may be because someone is curious about something or someone Greedy about something may be someone want something...And take such action with the help of Technology which makes several suffer

The technology on which we trust upon not always the same we thought of 
We should emerge with the technology....don't let it take Our place
