Privacy

Privacy is a huge concern especially up to present day. With the rise of technological advances in sharing information and paying more efficiently, there have also risen ways for sensitive information to be compromised. An example of this was when Target customers had their credit card security breached which led to the introduction of making cards with a micro chip which makes hacking more difficult. Another example is when the University of Maryland had a breach which risked information of students and faculty. Information such as Social Security, dates, and names were compromised. Situations like these can have very serious impacts on the people involved, which is why these are issues that must be brought into consideration when looking into moving forward with more advances in new media and technology.
