When thinking about issues that have arisen from the use of computer technologies, it is important to consider the key ????????? affected. A ???????? is anyone who is impacted by the actions of an organisation and this may include individuals, groups, manufacturers or business owners.

Data security (Fill the Gap)
Personal data is precious and needs to be kept safe. Unfortunately, there are people that attempt to hack systems in order to gain access to other people's data. Social media accounts, phone mailboxes and networks that computers connect to are all prone to hacking.
Some people may also use ????????? to obtain data. Recent times have seen the increased use of a type of ???????? known as ?????????. People who write ransomware do it to extort money from unsuspecting users. Once the ransomware infects a computer it encrypts data on it, denying users access unless a ransom is paid.

malware
ransomware
cipherware
The ???????????? is the division that exists between those people who can use technology and are comfortable doing so, and those who are not. Or those you have access to effective technology.

Another cultural issue is the changing nature of employment. Many companies now allow employees to work from home and communicate with them via technology. ?????????? document storage enables workers to share documents with their employer, and communication can be via email or by video.

Many computer components are either hard to recycle or contain ?????? materials, such as lead.

Fill the gap.
The widespread use of computers has led to new types of crime. The Computer Misuse Act 1990 attempts to discourage people from using computers for illegal purposes. There are three separate parts to the Act: It is illegal to access data stored on a computer unless you have ???????? to do so. Unauthorised access is often referred to as ????????? . It is illegal to access data on a computer when that material will be used to commit further illegal activity, such as fraud or blackmail. It is illegal to make changes to any data stored on a computer when the user does not have permission to do so. If you access and change the contents of someone’s files without their permission, you are breaking the law. This includes installing a virus or other ??????? which damages or changes the way the computer works.

Open source software
Open source software can be free of copyright and is usually available to anyone.
Open source software has several advantages:
It costs nothing and provides the source code so that anyone can modify the software for their own purposes.
It can have many authors. This enables programmers to contribute to the development of a program over time, refining and improving it and adding extra features.
A modified version, known as a derivative, must also be made freely available for anyone else to use or adapt.
Open source software has its disadvantages too:
There is no guarantee that it works properly as there is no requirement for anyone to ensure it is bug free.
Support might not be readily available, especially if the program is not in widespread use.
it can initially be free but require add ons to work
having only one author has meant the style can be difficult to understand
Examples of open source software include:
Linux operating system
Firefox web browser
Python programming language
Google Chome
Microsoft Edge (Windows 11 version)
Proprietary software has many advantages:
The product should be free of bugs. If bugs still exist, updates known as patches are often provided free of charge, which fix these bugs.
Help can be sought from the organisation who supplied the software if problems occur.
Feature updates which extend the software's facilities are often available, although usually at a cost.
Proprietary software that is in widespread use often has support available from many sources.
Proprietary software also has a number of disadvantages
There is an initial or ongoing (subscription) cost.
Feature updates which extend the software's facilities are often only available to new users first, and old uesr last
Software cannot be adapted to meet the needs of the user. Only the machine code version of the software is distributed, which cannot be edited.
It can be limited to a single computer or network, so unless the licence allows it, a user may not redistribute the software.
Examples of proprietary software include:
Windows and OS X operating systems
Google Android
Adobe Creative Suite productivity software
paid-for games for consoles
