SyTitle: A Developer's Anthology: Ethical and Social Implications of Emerging Technologies Objective: Explore the ethical and social implications of cutting-edge technologies that are currently in their infancy but have the potential

to reshape our future. Inspired by the speculative nature of the TV series Black Mirror, this assignment encourages students to envision the long-term impacts of 20 emerging technologies and compile their insights into an anthology. The goal is that you understand why developers should create with good intentions from the start. A good example of this is Google, who we know is very successful and widely used. What created the foundation for its success? Here's a bit about their philosophy: Google's philosophy at its inception was famously encapsulated in its informal corporate motto: "Don't be evil." This mantra was often associated with the company's commitment to ethical behavior, transparency, and a positive impact on society. The phrase was even included in Google's Code of Conduct for many years. The idea behind "Don't be evil" was to emphasize that Google aimed to conduct its business in an ethical manner, prioritizing user interests and avoiding actions that could harm users or society at large. It reflected a commitment to do more than just pursue profit, recognizing the broader impact that a technology company could have on the world. However, over the years, there have been debates and criticisms about whether Google has adhered strictly to this philosophy, especially as the company faced controversies related to user privacy, antitrust issues, and other ethical concerns. Critics argued that Google's practices and decisions did not always align with the initial idealistic vision associated with "Don't be evil." In 2018, during a restructuring of Google's parent company, Alphabet Inc., the "Don't be evil" motto was notably removed from the beginning of the company's Code of Conduct. Instead, Alphabet's Code of Conduct now encourages employees to "do the right thing." This change led to discussions about whether this signified a shift in Google's philosophy. It's essential to note that the removal of the motto doesn't necessarily indicate a complete abandonment of the commitment to ethical behavior. Google and its parent company, Alphabet, continue to express their dedication to responsible and ethical practices. However, the evolution of the company's philosophy and the removal of the iconic phrase have prompted ongoing discussions about the balance between technological innovation, business interests, and ethical considerations in the tech industry./nInstructions: Technology Selection: Choose one technology from the provided list of 20 emerging technologies (see attached list).
