IT and behaviour modification

[iphonerose]

So...basically i'd like to hear any examples of how ye believe IT affects behaviour, in particular, how it has the potential to change it...but I have to be sure to keep an IT focus predominantly..but I can delve into psychology (in particular the implications which said technologies have on subjects' psyches)
So far i've come up with:
1)Shock punishment as utilised in the Judge Rotenberg Centre
2) Supermax prisons and how they can really play with an inmates sanity levels..due to the lack of human contact
3) Technology's role in subliminal advertising..
4) How potentially dangerous people can be put on house arrest due to the attachment of a tracking device..that obviously affects behaviour..
5) I was thinking maybe bio feedback...as in a person learns how unhealthy they are and subsequently changes eating habbits or something to that effect.

I'm pretty much scraping the barrel here so any help at all would be appreciated!

EDIT: Cyber relationships/cyber bullying/social networking cannot be discussed...if anyone can think of more direct ways it can modify behaviour, that would be great

The growing importance of social media in keeping people informed (or uninformed) about world events, and friendships that form despite people not actually ever having met?

How about how people can become inward from spending all their time on computers or just using technology constantly preventing them perhaps from forming friendship with real people not just cyber friends and this having a lasting effect on their behaviour and day to day doings. Apologies in advance I think I am way off topic and talking shite! Good luck with it though!

My bad, I should edit the OP but as i pointed out to thaluikhain, the issue of cyber relationships is a no go area
