The faster speed means better connectivity to other people with different
views and perspectives. In short, the Internet can open your mind to new
problems, and new solutions. The less that is hidden, the more that is able to
added to our knowledge of the world and the people we live with. This is an
obvious asset compared to privacy. The same applications are relevant with
police officers and the people that they arrest. All police activities and
pre-meditated arrests could be recorded in the same fashion to prevent problems
in court. The Rodney King example is probably the most famous event that is
appropriate to the privacy situation. If we could have seen or heard clearly
what had happened, much of the legal distress that followed the incident could
have been prevented by hard evidence. Management and other empowered personnel
who know the facts make sound decisions. Decreased privacy will bring more facts
into light and allow for specific orders to be made. 2.) Solutions for Changes
in IT and Privacy Using data analysis provided from previously recorded
incidents, trouble spots for crime could be monitored with accuracy and ease.
Mandatory recordings by a third party should be required in order to make a
pre-meditated arrest. Although video is extremely reliable, sometimes it is not
appropriate.
Alternative technologies could be audio solutions and sophisticated heat
detectors. A network of databases containing intense medical records and
research of individuals would enable anyone to help out a person in need. The
network could be easily organized by detailed characteristics of health
problems/conditions as they are related to the man or women. This would provide
ease of use. Public, government run discussion boards can be an asset to the
American people. But, this only holds true if officials and people empowered to
make change are required to participate in and review the discussions. The
boards could also be monitored to prevent hacking and misuse, not to investigate
opinions. An advanced version of the Microsoft Java Cookie can be implemented
into all POS and web browsing systems. The cookie records information and takes
statistics on web surfing, and makes certain decisions based on related genres
and consumer goods. Combined with other statistics software cookies can be a
valuable asset to any company in terms of selling to the individual, not the
group. All decisions that affect the public directly must be televised in some
manner. The day-to-day work of the government can be recorded, but not publicly
broadcasted. Instead, the media can be available upon request by any citizen of
the US providing that that person gives a pertinent reason for the viewing of
that media. Personnel must accompany viewers at all times so foul play can be
lessened. .
