ABSTRACT
The former provides a given solution to a societal need while the latter raises problems that a society may have to address. Computers have enabled the expansion of knowledge globally so as to render vast libraries of information accessible to the global community. Although one marvels at the ability to instantaneously acquire knowledge on almost any topic and to communicate with other persons globally within a wisp of the passage of time, nevertheless, the possibility of enormous abuses have proven to be a fruitful area for wrongdoers. Criminal wrongdoing such as the programming of viruses and potentially harmful exposure of private data has led to demands of governments to protect both individual privacy and governmental security.
