| Working Conditions | Digital technology led to increased monitoring and automation in workplaces. Automation resulted in less jobs and lower wages. |
| Privacy | More monitoring technology available. People have less privacy. |
| Black Hat | Hacking with malicious intent. Mostly to cause damage or to extort money. |
| Grey Hat | Mostly good, but do hack servers without permission and then notify owners about vulnerabilities. |
| White Hat | A hacker which usually works in a security company, and works to legally find problems in security of servers. |
| Companies and Cybersecurity. | As more and more companies are storing more and more data about people, more of this data is personal and has to be protected from hacking attempts. |
| Professional Standards | Formal codes of conduct, acceptable use policies, internet access policies. |

| Technotrash (also known as E-Waste) | Increased waste from PCs/Laptops/Phones being thrown away, can be reduced by recycling. But affects environment negatively. |
| Increased energy use | Most energy sourced via fossil fuel, therefore increased carbon dioxide production, and therefore a bigger contribution to global warming. |
| Global assembly lines | Transport across oceans or countries can be very expensive and burn lots of fuel, causing increased carbon dioxide emmisions. |
| Increased mining for rare earth elements | Materials used in electronics use rare earth metals, and the methods used to mine such metals cause significant damage to the environment. |
| Large energy usage by server farms | - More and more server farms are being opened around the world. This causes a large increase in electricity usage, this can accelerate global warming if energy isn't sourced responsibly. |
| Remedying damage by increased electricity consumption | - Use renewable sources of electricity in order to not contribute to global warming. |
