For thisreason, computing is changing everything-where and how we work, where and how we learn,shop, eat, vote, receive medical care, spend free time, make war, make friends, make love[Rogerson and Bynum, June 9, 1995]Learning Expectation:In this chapter, I expect to learn about cyberethics. Before, the things which I only think aboutcomputers are games, Computing, Typing, Internet, etc. But that perspective was changedwhen I became college. I learned a lot about computers. About their life, niche, programming,web developing, etc. Now, I’m about to study and read about the computer ethics. Let’s seewhat else I can absorb from this book.Review:This chapter is all about computers. Basically, the 1
st
chapter is all about the introduction of whatthe whole book is all about. Computer from the very start is all about computing. From thefamous Abacus of the Chinese, Pascal calculator, Babbage Analytical Engine, MS-DOS, andother old computers that we people have used in our everyday lives. Before, everything we dowas manual. Computing is one of them. Now, there’s a calculator which will do the entire job.Computers really made a lot of changes in our society. Before, only people have ethics, now,computer does. Computer is really a powerful tool in changing the world that we live in. But thequestion is, are we using the computer in good things or bad? I remember, there’s this subjectin DLSU about ethical hacking. So I’m now curious about the unethical hacking. Now, let’sproceed with the main topic: The cyber ethics. Cyber ethics is like the ethics that we are livingwith but these one is for computers, if we are using it ethically or not. Now, this is the firstchapter of this book. Cyber Ethics.
