The importance of privacy, security, legal and green computing awareness for society.

Privacy is important because it is about respecting individuals. If a person has a reasonable desire to keep something private, it is disrespectful to ignore that person’s wishes without a compelling reason to do so. Of course, the desire for privacy can conflict with important values, so privacy may not always win out in the balance. Sometimes people’s desires for privacy are just brushed aside because of a view that the harm in doing so is trivial. Even if this doesn’t cause major injury, it demonstrates a lack of respect for that person. In a sense it is saying: “I care about my interests, but I don’t care about yours.”In this modern and fast paced world, security is more important than ever. It is one of the fastest growing industries in the world today.Almost everyday one hears about damage or loss occurring due to security lapses or a lack of security on the news.Even the term security is not just limited to physical security nowadays. It includes things that are unseen but extremely valuable things such as electronic data or e-data for example credit card details or government documents. Law governs much of what everyone does, day in and day out. It tell us what our rights and duties are.  It allows us to assert rights that we have.  It lets us know the consequences of not doing what we are supposed to do. Without law, we do not have civilization; we have chaos. Law is meant to protect people and property from harm. It is designed to either remove people from society who have harmed people and property or to make them monetarily responsible for the harm.  If we had no law, people could steal from us, hurt us, damage our property, or do any number of other acts that society has agreed it does not find acceptable. Conversely, we could steal from others or harm them without laws to discourage us from doing so.  There is no reason to think that, without law, people would all behave nicely and reasonably. With law, we clearly know what we are responsible for doing and what will happen to us if we violate a law. Without law, people could and would do whatever they wished. Green computing refers to environmentally sustainable computing. It minimize the use of electricity as well as energy and reduce the environmental dissipate when we are using a computer. The green computing has the same goals with green chemistry, which is longer the life time of the product and makes the product more efficiency of energy, advance the discarded product and factory waste to be more easily recycled and biodegradable, use of the less-hazardous materials.
