4-0 out of 5 stars Good collection
I am teaching Professional Practice in Computer Science and, as part of preparing for the course, I read several of the available texts. While I did not find anything compelling for the way I wanted to teach the course, I was impressed by Bynum's edited
collection. It covers a broad spectrum of ethics in the field and I was able to use it to help structure the class and individual lectures.

As with many collections, the papers/chapters vary in clarity and interest but overall this book serves as a good introduction to the foundations of computer and information system ethics (making the argument that the computer does add new, under-appreciated dimensions to classical ethics). The next time I teach the course I will be using an ethics textbook and Bynum's is right near the top when I consider what to adopt. ... Read more

Product Description
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have profoundly changed many aspects of life, including the nature of entertainment, work, communication, education, healthcare, industrial production and business, social relations and conflicts. They have had a radical and widespread impact on our moral lives and hence on contemporary ethical debates. The Cambridge Handbook of Information and Computer Ethics provides an ambitious and authoritative introduction to the field, with discussions of a range of topics including privacy, ownership, freedom of speech, responsibility, technological determinism, the digital divide, cyber warfare, and online pornography. It offers an accessible and thoughtful survey of the transformations brought about by ICTs and their implications for the future of human life and society, for the evaluation of behaviour, and for the evolution of moral values and rights. It will be a valuable book for all who are interested in the ethical aspects of the information society in which we live. ... Read more

Computer Ethics: A Case-based Approach teaches students to solve ethical dilemmas in the field of computing, taking a philosophical, rather than a legal, approach to the topic.It first examines the principles of Idealism, Realism, Pragmatism, Existentialism, and Philosophical Analysis, explaining how each of them might be adopted as a basis for solving computing dilemmas.The book then presents a worksheet of key questions to be used in solving dilemmas.Twenty-nine cases, drawn from the real-life experiences of computer professionals, are included in the book as a means to let students experiment with solving ethical dilemmas and identify the philosophical underpinnings of the solutions. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars It's OK, but boring...
I have to read this book for a college class. I've only read the first two chapters, but I agree with the other reviews. The content is easy to understand, the author makes some good points. This book can be thought provoking, but overall, it's pretty boring and repetitive.

5-0 out of 5 stars Very good
The book arrived quickly and in the condition speficied. No issues, would use this seller again.

3-0 out of 5 stars Computer Ethics Review
This book was required for my Computers & Philosophy class. It's a decently informative book, but the author doesn't write it in a way that's easy to understand. Most philosophy books are similar, but others that I've read have provided small indecies or at least some way of defining terms. By the time you finish reading a paragraph you've already forgotten what she was trying to say in the first place. If you're familiar with reading philosophy books, its great and informative, but if it's your first I would not recomend it.

3-0 out of 5 stars Painfully boring
I'm double majoring in Philosophy and Communication, so I thought that this was going to be a great book for my Computer Ethics class.Our assignments consisted of writing responses to each chapter.I was so bored only a few pages in that my responses focused on those pages and completely left out the rest of the chapter.

Having said that, if you don't read any other chapter, read "Chapter 5: Privacy".This chapter is great for debate and is VERY thought provoking.I actually read all of this one.There are so many services that people can go to, where they can access info about you.Is that ethical?

The good and bad thing about ethics in general, is that there usually isn't a right or wrong answer.This can also be a problem in that some people feel very strongly about an issue and refuse to even view it from another's perspective.

1-0 out of 5 stars .
This book is painful to read.The writing is clear, but it is so boring and repetitive that I can barely bring myself to pick it up.It seems like a majority of the time she rambles on about issues that aren't even specific to technology, and are, as another reader suggested, common sense.Unfortunately I have to read this book, since I am yet another CS major taking a required course in ethics related to technology.The subject isn't bad, the book is. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Information technology in a global society
As a teacher of a course entitled "Information technology in a global society" i have found this book an excellent resource for both myself and my students alike. It's simple enough for an entry level reader (I have had kids as young as 11 discussing the ethical considerations presented inthe book). While on the other hand it contains enough specifics and casestudies to make it a suitable source for high school students preparingpapers on a variety of topical issues.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Despite the emergence of computer games as a dominant cultural industry (and the accompanying emergence of computer games as the subject of scholarly research), we know little or nothing about the ethics of computer games. Considerations of the morality of computer games seldom go beyond intermittent portrayals of them in the mass media as training devices for teenage serial killers. In this first scholarly exploration of the subject, Miguel Sicart addresses broader issues about the ethics of games, the ethics of playing the games, and the ethical responsibilities of game designers. He argues that computer games are ethical objects, that computer game players are ethical agents, and that the ethics of computer games should be seen as a complex network of responsibilities and moral duties. Players should not be considered passive amoral creatures; they reflect, relate, and create with ethical minds. The games they play are ethical systems, with rules that create gameworlds with values at play.

Drawing on concepts from philosophy and game studies, Sicart proposes a framework for analyzing the ethics of computer games as both designed objects and player experiences. After presenting his core theoretical arguments and offering a general theory for understanding computer game ethics, Sicart offers case studies examining single-player games (using Bioshock as an example), multiplayer games (illustrated by Defcon), and online gameworlds (illustrated by World of Warcraft) from an ethical perspective. He explores issues raised by unethical content in computer games and its possible effect on players and offers a synthesis of design theory and ethics that could be used as both analytical tool and inspiration in the creation of ethical gameplay. ...

Product Description
Internet and Computer Ethicsfor Kids(and Parents and Teachers Who Haven’t Got a Clue)The Book of cyber-ethical Questions for the Information Age

The Title says it all.

Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids (and Parents and Teachers Without a Clue) is going to be one of the most significant books of 2001.

It discusses, in a non-technical language that everyone can understand, one of the most serious issues facing us today:

Hackers, Hacking and Cyber-Ethics.

1. How should kids behave on the Internet?
2. How can parents help their technically fluent children?
3. What can the schools and teachers do to assist?

Cyber Ethics is an important mission that you will want to be a part of, and this book is only the first of a series of books that will be appearing in the coming three years on the subject, all talking to a wide variety of issues.

CyberEthics for Kids and Families!

Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids is the first book to actively promote family and youth values and cyberethics in an entertaining, colorful way.

All About Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids!

Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids is a colorful, extensively illustrated book written in an easy to understand, non-technical format. No other book has been specifically targeted at non-technical parents, teachers and kids who are in the greatest need of ethical education on issues they don’t understand.

This lack of cyber ethical knowledge:
-Hampers a parent’s ability to raise their children with the appropriate amount of teaching and ethical foundation.
-Creates a greater schism in families
-Ultimately raises children with no cyber ethical guidance, which as we all know, if bad for business and society as a whole.

Unlike the small handful of older books which preach ethics and tell people how to behave, Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids does not preach or suggest what is right or wrong behavior. Instead, it provides situational conundra for the reader, the parent and the educator to discuss, evaluate and form the basis for personal ethics.

Internet and Computer Ethics for Kids is written so everyone, from all walks of life and education can read it – and understand it.

Product Description
Information technology has provided numerous options to individuals, governments, and corporations around the world. These options demand that choices be made, and such choices often involve ethical decisions. Users must decide, for example, whether certain data should be made available on the Internet, whether the information contained in various databases should be sold to third parties, and whether software developers should be held responsible for social and economic problems that result from their programs. This book provides a rigorous but accessible discussion of some of the major ethical issues concerning computers and information technology. The text gives particular attention to widespread issues concerning intellectual property rights, censorship, and privacy, along with less frequently raised topics, such as ethical worries about image manipulation, virtual reality, and the moral status of "intelligent" machines and expert systems. ...

Product Description
The study of the ethical issues related to computer use developed primarily in the 1980s, although a number of important papers were published in previous decades, many of which are contained in this volume. Computer ethics, as the field became known, flourished in the following decades. The emphasis initially was more on the computing profession: on questions related to the development of systems, the behaviour of computing professionals and so on. Later, the focus moved to the Internet and to users of computer and related communication technologies. This book reflects these different emphases and has articles on most of the important issues, organised into sections on the history and nature of computer ethics, cyberspace, values and technology, responsibility and professionalism, privacy and surveillance, what computers should not do and morality and machines. ...
