Blog 4-Technology and the Value of Work

I definitely agree with professor cyborg on that technology has brought many positive changes in life, but has also brought negative impacts. There have been many cases where advanced technological surveillance has helped save a company from problem. As chapter six tells us the top employees in the company are hardly surveillance, when in fact they create most of the moral/ethical problems. Which is a terrible system of checks and balanes. I recall reading about an employee who was caught stealing some medical bandages from work. He was later fired. The ironic part about the whole case is that, his employer provides faulty insurance. In this case who is more in the wrong? Technology serves two sides of the spectrum. It can be somebody’s savior at one point and another’s down fall in different instances.
