Issues 5

1.) I don't think spyware or cookies should be banned, because I think they can be very useful to do things like monitor the types and location of people that visit your webpage or the number of hits your webpage gets. However, I think people shuold be aware of what cookies or spyware is going on, and be able to opt out of it if they want.

2.) Well, I think law enforcement agencies should be reponsible for putting an end to phishing. Well, he can check to see its legitamacy and instead of providing the information through email he could log on to the website and check there to really see if he needs to update his information or whatever. Well, better awareness on how to avoid phishing and better methods of stopping it. Probably consumers more so than companies, since theyre the ones opening the emails and answering the questionss. 3.) No, it wouldn't do much good to create new laws to punish those who spread viruses and worms. Our prisons are crowded enough, and it would be wasting huge amounts of effort to track the hackers who are sending out viruses and worms. I think yes, if they are punished it should be related to the damage they do?

Issues 4

1.) No, the government should definitely not step in, that would just anger people. However, a better public understanding of cell phone etiquette may be a beneficial solution. Maybe in a TV commercial, sign on the street, etc, reminding people how fun it is to be polite!

2.) Banning them more than they already are wont get anywhere, people will always find away around the rules. During lectures and lessons, they should not be banned, since they can provide a helpful and simple method for students to record notes or record lectures. So in short, computers tablets etc, are great for use during classes and lectures, but should not be allowed during a test or exam.

Ethics and Issues #4?

1.) I think interenet dating services can  be worth it. Since some people are shy, unsure, and just would benefit from it. Its changing the way people interact, instead of meeting someone in person you can develop relationships behind the comfort of a computer, and then later in person. I would never use an internet dating service, but if I did, I would meet on my terms and conditions. And I definitely wouldn't give away my address, birthdate or things like that.
2.) As far as advantages, if someone has a disability, or is a long commute away from a college and cant
change that, an online course would be great. Or has family/kids to take care of and is unable to attend a college. I think yes, an online degree does/should have the same value, because you earned behind a computer or not. I think course study depends a little bit, for instance many community-college type courses would be difficult to learn via online learning, or a medical degree. Best suited, perhaps computer-related college courses, and worse suited would be something like surgery, would be almsot imposisble to teach online from what I can imagine.
