What I expect to learn?

I expect to learn about Computer ethic.

 

Quote:

computer ethics, covering topics such as the ownership of software and intellectual property, computing and privacy, responsibility of computer professionals, and the just distribution of technology and human power.

Review:

Wiener predicted a “second industrial revolution,” an “automatic age,” that would generate a staggering number of new ethical challenges and opportunities. The Human Use of Human Beings, explored the likely impacts of information technologies upon central human values, such as life, health, happiness, security, freedom, knowledge, opportunities, and abilities. Wiener's cybernetic account of human nature emphasized the physical structure of the human body and the tremendous potential for learning and creative action that human physiology makes possible. Human beings must be free to engage in creative and flexible actions that maximize their full potential as intelligent, decision-making beings in charge of their own lives. Wiener analyze and resolve information ethic issues by he attempts to assimilate new cases by applying already existing, ethically acceptable laws, rules, and practices. The integration into society of newly invented computing and information technology would lead to the remaking of society—to “the second industrial revolution”—to “the automatic age.” The starter kit has course descriptions for university catalogs, a rationale for offering such a course in a university, a list of course objectives, some teaching tips, and discussions of topics like privacy and confidentiality, computer crime, computer decisions, technological dependence and professional codes of ethics. There is a rapid growth on computer ethic that was implemented on universities.

  1. What can Maner's starter kit do?

It has course descriptions for university catalogs, a rationale for offering such a course in a university, a list of course objectives, some teaching tips, and discussions of topics like privacy and confidentiality, computer crime, computer decisions, technological dependence and professional codes of ethics.

 

  1. What did the computer ethic book have?

It set the research agenda in computer ethics, covering topics such as the ownership of software and intellectual property, computing and privacy, responsibility of computer professionals, and the just distribution of technology and human power.

 

10.  What is computer technology based on Moor?

It is logical malleability, computing technology enables human beings to do an enormous number of newthings that they never were able to do before.

 

11.  What is Moor effective problem solving method?

(1)   Identify a policy vacuum generated by computing technology.

(2)   Eliminate any conceptual muddles.

Floridi and his colleagues developed IE as a “foundation” for computer ethics.

 

14.  What is Floridi's IE theory?

Floridi’s IE theory is based upon the idea that everything in the infosphere has at least a minimum worth that should be ethically respected, even if that worth can be overridden by other considerations

 

15.  What is the concluding part of computer ethic?

There is a rapid growth on computer ethic that was implemented on universities.

 

16.  Who was responsible on the rapid growth on europe of computer ethic?
