    One moral issue that didn't seem to occur to the factory owners was the use of child labor. In fact they preferred children because they were smaller and could go inside the machinery to make repairs, even though when the machine suddenly restarted it may cost the child a limb or their life.

    Society is accepting and adapting quite well to today's technology. 90% in developed countries have a cell phone, for instance, and broadband penetration about as high.

    Some recent studies have shown that people who use technology, especially email and Internet discussion groups, are more connected to society than those who don't use computers.

    You've asked questions that could serve as the meat of at least eight books. Give us a break. We're overwhelmed too. What level of school, what detail do you want? Then we can try.

    If you could make the questions more specific, they're more likely to get answers.
