Social Ethical Units: People & Machines, Control, Equality of Access
Control: People who use computers feel as if power of the internet is at the tip of their finger tips. They have the urge to be on the computer 24/7, whether that be on a desktop pc, laptop, or even a phone. People are now on some type of computer everyday now. Control is absent when using a computer.
Downside to Technology:Facebook is an issue, because people who procrastinate on finishing assignments often sign onto their accounts and talk with friends or just stalk other people.
