Bryce Lukens CS 3043 Chapter 8 connection
The computing technology in Anon does not have innate software or hardware errors that lead to failure of the technology as seen in Chapter 8 of Ethics of the Information Age. The technology in Anon is not shown to have any failures, the problems in the movie are the result of infiltrations in the security of the technology. Although it is not stated directly, the characters in Anon infiltrate the security of the neurotechnology. Cyrus is introduced and gets access to the anonymous user’s eyesight and his profile is visible. His profile states his occupation as a “Bureau Security Specialist,” suggesting that Cyrus and the anonymous user get access to the Ether by infiltrating the security of the Ether. This type of problem is more in line with Chapter 7 in Ethics of the Information Age, which is about the security of computers and networks.
