Abstract

Some ethical concerns are addressed that seem to have been omitted as the
 technologically advanced global world goes about its regular business. The following
 issues have been touched on: ‘Bypassing the conscious behavior choices and the
 dangers of compulsive use of digital technology,’ ‘the morally insensitive world of
 technology-backed marketing and advertisement,’ ‘some ethical matters for the
 digitally connected global village and globalization-influenced atmosphere,” and
 ‘the moral concerns of the economic growth of emerging economies in a technologyloaded
 world.’ It occurs that the addressed topics have a pattern. For instance,
 compulsive indulgence and proclivity for addiction to technology get pronounced as
 mindful or conscious engagement with digital gadgets and the internet are
 progressively trivialized. Additionally, technology-savvy globalized societies have
 the tendency to subscribe to hedonistic leanings, giving significant importance to
 personal space and the freedom to decide one’s lifestyle and time utilization. The
 danger dawns when technology becomes detrimental for behavior, interaction,
 relationships, and business, and the user starts experiencing the adverse impact of
 imprudent use of technology on his or her physical and psychological wellbeing and
 social world. Similarly, the matter becomes of concern when the commercial world
 decides to disregard the righteous goal of income generation (i.e., purusharth),
 conceptualized as inseparable from the concepts of dharma, or duty, and social
 responsibility. Lastly, when the values and normative standards of the technologically
 advanced affluent countries are adopted senselessly by the emerging economies rich
 in cultural wisdom and indigenous traditions, it is time for contemplation.
