Customer Reviews

Ethics in Information Technology

The book was exactly the book I needed - description precise and accurate and arrived before the delivery date. Thank you.

Decent Ethics Book

Obtained this book as part of my Ethics in Management Information Systems class I took. The book covered the topic well, but did not go into that great of detail as I would have expected. It is very easy to understand and someone with a basic knowledge of IT would be able to read it.

Book Review

Received the book in a timely fashion. This book is small and very easy to read and understand. Love it.

Textbook Purchase

Great Discussion Questions

You don't normally think of ethical issues in the case of information technology, but this book brings many, many questions to the fore. ==For instance should American companies (Sun, Cisco, Yahoo! & Goodle) assist the Chinese government in censoring web access. They block access to words like 'Dalai Lama' and 'democracy.' We have seen a raft of corporations filing bogus financial statements. These were undoubtedly produced on a computer. What about access to porn sights from public facilities like libraries or schools? What about pirated software, or pirated movies or songs. And computer controlled surveillance - it is said that the average person in London appears on 300 cameras. Where does a right to privacy interfere with a society's right to protection from vandals, from terrorists. This book features white pages and grey pages. The white pages describe facts, laws, rules, equipment and so on. The grey pages summarize the chapters but then give a large number of questions that either review the material or which can service as discussion questions for classroom use.
