I'm interested in the theme not just in terms of the artifical intelligence and identity theft but also in terms of other ethical issues the digital age has now introduced.
TV on demand - whilst this can be a bonus scientists have comented on the time we spend watching television as this can effect our senses of hearing and sight. Also too much bad news in the world always takes priority.Internet socialisation - websites such as myspace and facebook where anyone can create an account talk to people and yet be someone else entirely.
Digital photography - incidents whereby digitial cameras are so easy to use, new laws have to be put in place to stop photographs being taken of anyone without their consent.
A good example of this is a father being accused of paedophilia for taking a photograph of HIS children.
i'm not sure, much like Craig, as to whether to do a lot of reserach into each of these areas or focus on a specific one.
Any comments or help is appreciated - A bit stuck now

shane,
i think you have begun to divide your subject well, you just need to think of a 4th area from the list you've posted and flesh out the others with more detailed examples and evidence of their worth as stamps. don't just look at the negatives of a digital society though, communicate the pros as well - tv on demand also means instant news and information which has to be a good thing?. could each stamp communicate pros and cons?
Thanks James.
Sorry for this long overdue reply Iv been on holiday.
Iv just brought an interesting bok online from amazon entitled ethics in the didigtal age and it covers a lot of these themes and more.
hoping to read this and gain some critical opinions whilst doing so.
Will post again when hav any further queries.
