Assignment 2:

Article Evaluations:

Ethics of Technology:

The ethics of technology is how technology is affected by the new technologies that come into society. The technology itself is merely a tool that is used, but the ethics side of the technology is based on the users. The article evaluates the different uses that technology has used technology in the past and displays the different challenges that technology has against society.

Passenger Drones

The idea of a passenger drone makes it easier to transport people across distances. There would, however, need to have a high security created for the technology. If someone were to hack into the drone it could cause mayhem and chaos. The drones' ability to bring members of society to different locations without the need of a pilot would reduce the emissions that would be used from vehicles and airplanes.

Delivery Drones

The article discusses the different uses that the drones can be used for. It is a very valuable resource that can be used. The drones can be used to deliver food, medicine, and be used by the postal service. However, it would need to be monitored because of the abuse that it could be used for. Illegal substances have been transported with it, so the drones may need something to be able to detect the different items it may contain so that it does not become a use with the cartel or other organizations.

Assignment 5:

This week's assignment is more practical because you will learn how to add citations to an article that you have selected in week 3 based on the topics discussed in this class such as technology, society, and ethics. You will be required at the end of the training to apply what you’ve learned by adding a citation to one of your selected articles. After that, please go into your sandbox and create a new section titled “assignment 5”, where you will also leave the citations you have added to your articles. This really important.

Assignment 6:

With the way that society is heading towards technology you wonder just how much can be done by machines. As time goes on, machines have taken over many jobs that were once frivolous and now are made easier through the use of technology. With the invention of drones we have been able to do new and exciting things that we haven't before. We can now explore with them to farther heights and distances, and now with passenger drones we can transport people. Delivery drones are now being used to send items back and forth between distances as well. It has become an interesting source of technology that we can benefit from.

Now as we encounter more technology, we know that with every good thing that is discovered, it can be exploited as well. It has been known to have drones to deliver items inside jail yards and travel distances and spy on people.

Assignment 7:

Reviewed an article about women in engineering. It seems like an interesting topic and will be able to be expanded as time goes on

As we have been in quarantine for about a month it has become more of a social normality to get supplies and food from online sources. The world has become more fearful of being able to go to their own backyard let alone to a grocery store. It has become more difficult to refill our pantries and basic supplies because of some individuals hoarding supplies and trying to triple the price to make themselves more money. It has been getting worse as weeks have progressed.

If drones were more used the disease would be less likely to be spread from person to person. The drones would have the ability to be able to deliver to the recipient without having a human contact and to save the delivery drivers and other crew members from risking their health. It would be beneficial for everyone to be able to stop this terrible disease. Not only can the drones deliver food and supplies, they may be able to deliver medicines and more beneficial supplies to the sick and be able to quarantine without extra exposure to the rest of the community.

Now as we encounter more technology, we know that with every good thing that is discovered, it can be exploited as well. It has been known to have drones to deliver items inside jail yards and travel distances and spy on people. It can become a scary situation. When situations like this happen, you have to decide the morality of the situation. You may think, “As beneficial as the technology is, is it worth the risk for the problems as well?”. I believe that the world would benefit more than the flaws to have delivery drones be more involved in the world.

Passenger drones are a new type of drone and could possibly be a semi-replacement for helicopters. There would not be an EMT on board, but it would be able to transport passengers to new destinations with less fuel and allow the environment to recover, as we have seen over the one month of humans not polluting the air constantly. We have seen the Italy canal become more clear, fish and dolphins swimming in it. The ozone has started to heal. Looking at what has changed for the Earth in the last month it’s very apparent that we have to change the way that we commute between destinations.
