A Level 1.5.2a

This video, which is part of a series of five focuses on concerns surrounding computing technologies. The idea that new technologies bring with them new social and ethical issues, and that the law is often slow to catch-up to guard people against these issues. This video in particular focuses on the following topics: Piracy and offensive communications, and Layout, colour paradigms and character sets.

Key questions:

- What do we mean by piracy and offensive communications, and what sort of actions do governments take against them?
- What are some of the cultural implications of designing software and digital content in relation to layout, colour paradigms and character sets?
