Ease with which erroneous information can multiply, and the difficulty of expunging such information. Lack of well-crafted laws and regulations to protect the privacy of individuals so that the likelihood of harm is greatly reduced. Lack of procedures that would make it easy for people to protect information about themselves from being shared without their permission, and the lack of procedures that would make it difficult for people to obtain information about others without getting their permission.

Sometimes the harm is unintentional although no less serious as when erroneous information gets propagated through credit or medical bureaus and other databases of personal information.

Computers and information technology are central to this change, and we can easily list dozens of ways in which computers now make our lives easier and more productive Personal computer applications, such as word processing, spreadsheets, graphics, multimedia, and databases, continue to grow in popularity. Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, offer promise for future applications. At the same time, computers threaten our privacy, our security, and perhaps our way of life. As we rush into the information age, our future depends on computers and on our ability to understand and use them in productive, positive ways. Thank you.
