- ETHICS
- MABU ROBOT:
- one advantage of using the Mabu robot is that it can be on your bedside table and can be interacted
with so provides convenient and human-like support. Life support is very useful as it is used to aid in
keeping injured or ill patients alive. Hotel robots are useful as it means that humans don't have to do
the cleaning themselves and save lots of time.

- DISADVANTAGES:

- There may be design flaws for certain situations
- ADVANTAGES
- Don't have to pay wages
- No human error
- Accurate readings
- Works 24/7
- Doesn't need breaks/rest
- precision work
- COMPUTERS IN THE MODERN WORLD
- E-Waste and recycling:
- Recycling:
- The benefits of this are that the waste from our computers and electrical goods will be reduced if we
reuse the parts or the whole machines. Meaning less waste dumped in landfills and therefore less
pollution in areas.
- mainly benefits the people in places like Africa who live next to these toxic dumps of our electronic
waste
- will cause less harm to them as there will be less toxic gases and materials that are left there.
- E-waste
- E-waste from more developed and rich countries is usually dumped in the
poorer areas/countries such as Kenya
- This waste is very harmful and dangerous due to the toxic
materials used in electronicd
- A way to make it much safer would be to try to find/discover more
eco friendly and less harmful alternatives tothese materials
- LEGISLATION AND PRIVACY
- The data protection act:
- data must be processed fairly and lawfull
- data must be adequate, relevant and not excessive
- data must be accurate and up to date
- data must not be retained for longer than necessary
- data can only be used for the purpose for which it was collected
- data must be kept secure
- Not transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEC) without adequate protection
