Inside Story's news desk leads viewers into a world where information technology meets everyday life. In six self-contained stories, the program organises this vast topic into three specific areas: * power and privacy * control and security * trust and accuracy From international stories of potential "big-brother" systems, to local interviews with musicians distributing their music online, this is a program sure to generate discussion. In addition, a "forecast" at the end predicts a number of issues looming on the horizon. Key terms such as data mining, freedom of information, watermarking and safety-critical software are introduced throughout, and the program concludes with a comprehensive six-point guide to ethical decision-making. A must for IT developers of the future!
