[edit] What is it

Brief abstract of the emerging technology

[edit] Impact & Maturity assessment

It is difficult to see how the above demonstrates an ICT issue, although it certainly has information assurance implications. However, this relates to several broad issues in society at large, ranging from training, education, ethics in government, work assignments, proliferating systems that require differing procedures to maintain data security, and much more. So, while we are tempted to assign this an Impact Level and Maturity Level of 3, our highest assessments, we are equally tempted to delete this entry as outside the scope of our study. For now, we will assign this an Impact Level of 2 and a Maturity Level of 2.
