This textbook highlights the essential need for a strong ethical framework in our approach to teaching of and working in computer, information and engineering sciences.
Through thought-provoking questions and case studies, the reader is challenged to consider the deeper implications arising from the use of today’s rapidly evolving computing technologies and ever-changing communication ecosystems.
This thoroughly revised and updated third edition features revised chapters with new and updated content and hardened the ethical framework. To cope with the rapidly changing computing and telecommunication ecosystem, a new chapter, Ethics and Social Responsibility in the Metaverse, has been added. The interface between our current universe and the evolving metaverse presents a security quagmire. The discussion throughout the book is candid and intended to ignite students’ and professionals’ interest and active participation in discussions of the issues we are facing now and those likely to emerge in the near future.
Topics and features―including fully updated content:
- Introduces a philosophical framework and tools for understanding and analyzing computer ethics in personal, public, and professional spheres
- Describes the impact of computer technology on issues of security, privacy, anonymity, and civil liberties
- Discusses the security and ethical quagmire in the platforms of the developing metaverse (NEW chapter)
- Examines intellectual property rights in the context of computing, including the risks and liabilities associated with software
- Discusses such key social issues in computing as the digital divide, employee monitoring in the workplace, and risks to physical and mental health
- Reviews the history of computer crime, and the threat of digitally facilitated bullying, harassment, and discrimination
- Considers the ethical challenges arising from online social networks, mobile telecommunication technologies, virtual reality, the Internet of Things and 5G technologies
- Includes learning objectives, discussion questions and exercises throughout
This concise and accessible work addresses the critical ethical and moral issues important to all designers and users of computer technologies. The text incorporates the latest curricula requirements for undergraduate courses in computer science, as well as offers invaluable insights into the social impact and legal challenges posed by the latest generation of computing devices and networks.
