Ethical Issues Regarding Emerging Technologies

We examine only one area of the different types of emerging technologies and the ethical issues that can arise in connection with them. We focus on the ethics of businesses collecting detailed, and often very private, information on their customers in order to use that information to increase their profits. Ethical issues can be examined from the perspective of the consumers whose information is being collected or from the perspective of the businesses, concerning both how they collect and how they use this information.

Is the increase in information gathering by businesses for increasing their profits a good or bad thing on the whole? Consider the arguments given by Johnson, the perspective of customers, and the perspective of the businesses themselves. Do you think the increasing use of such technologies leads to violations of individual rights and, if so, specifically what rights?
