Operations Network Management – Use Of Google Glass

The ethical management of the network management domain is concerned with the appropriate implementation of the technical domain. In this arena, there is a strong relationship between the precincts of analytics and design. This domain has a further impact on the different implementation arena like education and health care. The public awareness of the ethical and risk contexts in the domain of internet technology management. The ethical concepts need to be implemented in the arena of ethical design implementation through policy management. The governance of the digital domain is an essential aspect of digital technology management 

Identification

While there are several issues accompanying the implementation of the technology platform like Google Glass, the identification of the issues forms an essential part of the model of implementation. In this regard, there is a further need to create an appropriate mitigation plan which will ensure that the entire model of ethical implementation of technology is handled appropriately. The identification of the different risk scenarios ensures that the emergence of the identified risk situations does not create a derogatory impact on overall technology implementation. In this case, there are two ethical issues which can be identified. The first issue which has been identified is that of the viewing of the personal details without the permission of the user. In the case of usage of Google Glasses, the user of the devices has the ability to capture the personal information details without the approval of the owner of the information. In the second issue, it has been seen that the use of the Google Glasses or similar user technologies shall lead to a situation where the personal space of the other inhabitants of the ecosystem may be violated. In the world of social media, it is seen that the capture of personal pictures of the members of the ecosystem may lead to the publishing of the details and the pictures on the social media platform. This will create a situation which may lead to the intrusion into the violation of the personal space of the other members. This will also lead to a huge impact on the personal psyche of the employees or the other members of workspace where the device has been used. The similarity of the technology platform along with the required prescriptive lenses has made it difficult to distinguish the actual lenses from the Google Lenses.

Analyze

The Kantian theory has a strong focus on the role of the morality in terms of determining the said actions. In this regard, it has been seen that the person has a strong role to play in the moral autonomy situation. In this case, the person who is carrying out the action needs to decide whether the determined action is right or wrong. The decision with regard to the moral validity of the action needs to be undertaken as a part of the moral judgement of the individual in itself. In the case of usage of Google Glass, it is seen that the person using the Google Glass device may consider the action as rightful and moral as it leads to the achievement of the desired objectives of the owner of the device. However, on the contrary, it has been seen that the usage of the devices may prove to be highly detrimental for the other members of the eco-system. The impact may be carried out in terms of privacy intrusion or data violation. In this case, it has been seen that the use of Google Glasses and its respective implications can be considered from the perspective of the users and their related implementations.

The situation is quite different in the case of the Utilitarian model. In the case of Utilitarianism, it has been seen that an action may not be considered to be right or wrong in their own regard. However, the overall context of the right or wrong of the usage is considered from the perspective of the impact of an action. In this case, it is seen that the usage of Google Glass device is not to be decided as right or wrong. On the other hand, the moral rightness of the usage of a device is considered from the perspective of the impact of the device in terms of the users who are involved in the impact space of the device. In this case, it has been seen that the use of the Google Glass has been found to be highly impactful of the users who are present in the ecosystem of the Google Glass users. In this case, the users who are present in the vicinity of the Google Glass users are at a risk of privacy violation and data leakage.

Evaluation and Justification

The issues are two-phased. In the first phase, the aspect of privacy intrusion has been considered. While in the second phase, the aspect of personal data leakage has been considered. In this case, it has been seen that the model of usage of the technology has been present and limited to the areas which are viewed by the Glass component. This includes the different human and non-human resources who are present in the vicinity of the device. In this case, it has been seen that the impact has been largely witnessed in the domain of privacy violation and data leakage.

Conclusion

Hence, it has been seen that the ethical implementation of the technology needs to be implemented in a policy based framework and implementation model. It has been seen that the ethical model of implementation shall lead to a comprehensive implementation which will ensure that the different technology models are implemented in a sustainable manner.

The relationship between ethics and technology implementation shall ensure that the implementation of the different technology areas shall create a complete technology management area which shall ensure that the different elements of the technology ecosystem including the people, the environment and the society.
