Technology

We are living in an era where technology runs the world in every aspect of the human race. Although its convenience and helpfulness are undeniable, society has to be confronted with new problems coming from it as an inevitable consequence.

Shopping is now much more enjoyable than ever thanks to electronic transaction platforms and online payment tools. Yet, customers are also exposed to risks of fraud, blackmailing, data privacy leaking, etc. Or, in terms of doing business, companies have increasingly boosted their performance with advanced technologies but are usually worried about cybercriminals, hacking their system to steal client’s information or just sabotage for the purpose of competition. Intellectual property right infringement is also a good example of the dark side of technology. Copyrighted works are being spread for free and counterfeit goods are publicly exhibited online and sold in a massive quantity, causing drastic damage to many authors and companies.
