Advanced Interactive Media/Ethics and Morality in Media's Future

Future media presents nearly unlimited potential for creative imagination. Imagination usually involves moral issues. What are the implications for immersive, multisensory experiences? Why are they so powerful and influential and how should they be used and/or policed?

Ethics and morality. These two words are pervasive in culture due to their vital role in forming culture and society. As interactive media becomes more pervasive and therefore more essential in our society and its culture, we must look at the ethical and moral questions interactivity raises. Interactivity is a tool, and as with any other tool man uses, it can be used for good or for bad. The process of understanding through research and analysis of said research which uses are good and which uses are bad is one that we must take the initiative to pursue. This chapter of this Wikibook attempts to do so.
