Today has been a pretty chill day, nothing much has happened. I enjoyed having a prety relaxed weekend, but now it is time to get some work done!

I have had a couple of ideas for this paper that I've been throwing around. The first one is the idea that the creation of electrical equipment abuses the labor of other countries. The products that we all enjoy using were more than likely put together for pennies on the dollar in some Chinese sweatshop. While it might be cheaper and easier to do, is it the right thing to do?

Another idea that I like is the idea that with the expansion of technology comes unexpected consequences. Today we can use our phones to record conversations, spy on people, or stalk them online. We can write code that steals information from someone's computer or denies them access or certian web pages. There are devices out there that can track someone's location to a couple of feet. Is it right for us to abuse the technologies that we are given or are creating for malicious purposes?

A couple of interesting ideas to play with, I hope to talk to my professor about it sometime this week before I spend too much time on one topic.
