3) With so much discussion about ransomware in the media in recent times, discuss how safe our data is right now. Use high profile examples from the past 5 years to support your position.

5) Parents are now shaping their children's digital identity long before they have spoken their first word. A child's most intimate and embarrassing moments are shared with the world without consideration. What ethical challenges need to be overcome to combat "sharenting".
