Please help explaining the following statement in terms of its ethical implications based on the below notation:

"Various computer capabilities including powerful storage media, scanning devices, more advanced hardware processors, and sophisticated software packages facilitate extremely rapid and efficient collection of disparate data.Furthermore, thanks to these technologies, the costs of electronically capturing and archiving data have been steadily decreasing.As a result, many organizations now rely on cost-effective methods such as "data warehousing" to preserve large amounts of data for future reference.
