Question: As we proceed with cybertechnology research and development in the twenty-first century, continued technological convergence would seem to be inevitable. Many of us have benefited signifi- cantly from the conveniences made possible by this phenomenon so far-e.g., cell phones that take pictures, GPS technology in automobiles that guide motorists, etc.

Yet, we have also noted some controversial implications that convergent technologies can have for individual freedom, autonomy, and privacy. Can you think of any other social and ethical concerns that could also arise because of converging technologies? Identify three to five additional concerns that you believe might also have some social and ethical implications.
