Daniel+Perrine_Portfolio+continued

**__“Portfolio Rough Draft” __** On October 12, 2009, according to the University of Utah NEWS Center, engineers at the University supplied information about an IT development that enables people to be seen from behind solid walls. Now, while this IT development can be extremely useful to fire fighters, policemen, and others who may need this technology, will everyone who has access to it use it appropriately? This is the issue I will investigate. Along with the many benefits of this technology come some possible problems. We may just start another problem trying to fix another. What are those problems and is this IT development worth it? Can we trust that people won’t use this technology in inappropriate ways such as spying on people while they change or take a shower? This article was found on the internet at: []. ( Okay, good but try and have a stronger image as an opening statement. Try and include some type of numbers in the opening paragraph like similar technologies and cost and implementation timelines etc..) **__Criterion B-The IT background of the issue: __** In this section, I will talk about how the use of this technology has an effect on the stakeholders and how the IT system operates using the ITGS terminology while including diagrams if able. I will also include examples of how this IT developement can help people. One example is firemen. If there is a fire in a building, this equipment will enable the firefighters to locate people in the building quicker and easier from the saftey of outside decreasing their chances of injury. I feel lots more people will be saved. ( Will smoke inhibit the tecxhnology? How will this differ than the current use of heat detecting devices (human not fire heat) in cost and implementation)  **__Criterion C-The impact of the issue: __**  This section will be on the various areas of impact this IT developement will have on its stakeholders. What are the pros and cons? I will need to include impacts in all of the following categories: economic, political, cultural, legal, environmental, ergonomic, health, and psychological. This will be the longest section and will therefore require the most research and information. What are the pros of this IT developement? It will probably allow firefighters and police to find people faster and from a safer location. The result of this will be a lower injury/death possibility or those people. The cons? This IT equipment could be used for inappropriate reasons, and if it malfuntions, which is always a possibility when dealing with technology, ploice and ifrefighters for example will be right in the same position as before and the equipment, until fixed, will be useless. Also, equipment like this is not at all inexpensive. In fact it's quite the opposite. ( Okay this I like)  **__Criterion D-A solution to the problem arising from the issue: __** What are soltions to the problems brought up in section C? I was thinking, at least for the part about the technology being used inappropriately, that there could be extra security measures in using this technology. I'll need to do more research but a brief explanation would be to to have designated people who use this under strict rules and regulations and that any breaking of the rules will result in severe repercussions. Like I said, I'll need to research a lot more before I come up with any final solutions. ( This would have to be expanded, would the gov use it to spy, etc.. see about other similar technology already in place (like thermal imaging, rf imaging etc.. (see me if you can't find))  **__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Criterion E-Selection and use of sources: __** This section will be fairly easy.I'll need three more sources and will need to make sure the bibliographies are correct. Other than that, not much is needed for this page. I'm confused on this section. It sounds like it is similar to sections C and D. Is this section like extra commets/thoughts the student has? If so, this section shouldn't be too hard either. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(Not bad, I can tell you have been working on this)
