So This Is How It Begins: Guy Refuses to Stop Drone-Spying on Seattle Woman

ESSAY *2
Describe one social/ethical concern related to the IT system.

Privacy is the social/ethical aspect I am going to relate to this article. Because by having a drone over your house, this will imply that they could use it for violating your privacy right. How can they violate that right? By taking aerial pictures from the drone into what is happening inside the house.

Describe the relationship of one primary stakeholder to the IT system.

One primary stakeholder that appears in this article is the couple that is being affected primary by the drone. The relationship exists when the person flying the drone decides to over-fly that couple’s backyard. After independently deciding what they will use the drone for.

Describe, step by step, how the IT system works.

Input: the drone is commanded by a pilot that is located in the ground from a remote control.

Storage: The UAV films through the camera already installed and displayed the images on the control remote commanded by the pilot.

Output: The pilot gathers the information took by the camera. 

Explain the relationship between the IT system and the social/ethical concern already described.

This relationship will be between the privacy issue and the unmanned aerial vehicles (drone). What will happen is that the drone by overpassing to the aerial space that covers the couple´s backyard will be allowed to do that because no law forbids that the drone flies over because "the air is a public highway". But when the drone uses its camera for taking pictures inside the house, that is considered privacy invasion and that is, in fact, against the law. But for now there are no restrictions of flying over houses ever since you don’t abuse and don’t interfere with the privacy of other people.     

Criterion C --- Evaluate at least three impacts of the social/ethical issues on the relevant stakeholders.

 There are some social/ethical issues that come along with the stakeholders. The privacy that we already discussed, it tells that the drone by taking pictures from inside the house is violating a law and it can be penalized by authorities. The people and machines relationships can cause problems along their development because sometimes the machines are used based on bad intentions. At last point, the policies that involve technology are not strongly based upon law but when the machines that people use violate any law they could be penalized.

Evaluate one solution that addresses at least one problem identified in Criterion C.

I could say that one solution could be creating new laws based on the technological usage and what fines could be imposed if any of these laws is violated. There is only one big problem with this proposal, technology is always developing and at rates even faster every time, so it would be silly and useless to create laws preventing this kind of technological use. The solution I would give is: that you can use technological discoveries anywhere the law allows it but when it is affecting the privacy and security of an individual or group of people, this has to be penalized and fined, before something worst happens.
