computers affect society.
For example, while it is easy to duplicate copyrighted electronic (or
digital) content, computer ethics would suggest that it is wrong to do
so without the author's approval. And while it may be possible to
access someone's personal information on a computer system,
computer ethics would advise that such an action is unethical.
As technology advances, computers continue to have a greater
impact on society. Therefore, computer ethics promotes the
discussion of how much influence computers should have in areas
such as artificial intelligence and human communication. As the world
of computers evolves, computer ethics continues to create ethical
standards that address new issues raised by new technologies.
