10 Commandments in Computer Ethics
The 10 commandments in computer ethics 1. Thou shall not use a computer to harm other people. * In the age of information and/or the digital age, more and more personal information is available online. From financial to personal, information online is the property of the individual and entities that they share it with and no others. 2. Thou shall not interfere with other people's computer work. * With greater and higher speed access the user is to benefit and incorporate these advances in technology for the betterment of their work and for the collaboration with others. 3. Thou shall not snoop around in other people's computer files. * Again with the increase in speed and access it is left to the user to continue their use in an ethical manner. 4. Thou shall not use a computer to steal. * With other commandments and with the advancement of technologies it is to the user to utilize equipment in a manner in which benefits the Web 2.0 community. 5. Thou shall not use a computer to bear false witness. * Computers, cell phones, chat rooms, instant messaging, blogs, wikis…. Daily there are multiple means and options to post information for the global community to see. It is the responsibility of the user to utilize these powerful tools to benefit this global community. 6. Thou shall not copy or use proprietary software for which you have not paid. * For those looking for “free” software and applications, Web 2.0 applications provide users with “free” and “open” applications which users can utilize in an ethical manner and at no cost. 7. Thou shall not use other people's computer resources without authorization or proper compensation. * With the drop of costs and the increase in capabilities computer access in more common than ever.

    The year is 2010, the era is the 21st century; and we, citizens of the world, are living in the Information Age. Our information is made available on the Internet where it can be viewed by millions. The days where our data was recorded on scraps of paper and left in a box in an office along with thousands of other registers are long gone. Our personal data is permanently recorded in the hard drives of computers where they can be analysed and exploited by anyone with access to that computer; or worse, identity thieves and hackers may get their hands on the data.…

    How Ethical, Legal and Regulatory Issues Differ Between B2B and B2C Web Sites

    Like traditional brick-and-mortar business’s, business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) web sites face ethical, legal, and regulatory concerns. Although both B2B and B2C sites share similarities’ in web-based jurisdictional issues and general ethical considerations, each site has its own specific concerns due to the end user relationship of the consumer versus business (Schneider, 2004). Whether the end user is a business or a consumer, there is usually a transaction or sale of a particular product or service. Since the Internet launches online business into the global economy, businesses need to be aware of the different ethical, legal, and regulatory issues to avoid potential e-commerce liability.…

    When James Moor’s classic article, "What is Computer Ethics?," appeared in the October 1985 issue of Metaphilosophy, the impact of computers and information technology on our social institutions was arguably very different from its effect today.1 At that time, the World Wide Web was still several years away from development; and the Internet, at least as we know it today, was in its infancy.2 Also, in 1985 personal computers were relatively new and were owned by proportionately few persons. The image of computers held by many, then, was that of a large, "unfriendly" mainframe—i.e., a giant machine whose operations were understood only by a select few technical "gurus" capable of writing programs in esoteric languages. Today, of course, a computer is no longer viewed merely as a machine that "crunches numbers," but is perhaps more commonly thought of either as a communications medium through which one is able to conduct many of the affairs of one’s day-to-day life or as a tool that is essential for carrying out many of one’s tasks in the workplace. Indeed, it would be difficult now for many us to imagine our lives without computers.…

    Ethical Message of Mulan

    “A flower that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful and rare of them all” (Emperor of China from Disney’s ‘Mulan’). This film is set during the war between China and the Huns in Northern China during the Sui dynasty. Mulan goes to war in place of her father with good intentions and along the way teaches key lessons to the young viewers. There are multiple lessons implied within this picture, but one that really stuck out was the lesson of woman strength and superiority. Just by providing the element of the Chinese culture, it added an additional lesson, which is responsibility and bringing honor to your family. Lastly, by Mulan’s actions and decisions to go to the army, she implies a lesson of independence and not conforming to the expectation of her role in society.…

    Generation Z: Literature Review Of Generation Z

    Web 2.0 can be defined as continuously updated online portals and services in which individuals collaborate to provide, consume and mix data from multiple sources on the basis of participation (O’Reilly 2007). It is called Web 2.0 as it follows Web 1.0 during which the primary use was accessing information in digital portals (elasco, 2018) whereas the use for Web 2.0 technologies is to further online collaboration (Capo & Orellana, 2011). Alexander (2006) outlines the characteristics invloved in Web 2.0, in particular, sharing micro-content (videos, chats, blogs), open contribution and simple-to-use interfaces. Likewise, Birdsall (2007) identifies it as a “qualitatively different experience’’ as the user is the one creating the content within the…
