TY - BOOK AU - Baase, Sana TI - A gift of fire : social, legal, and ethical issues for computing technology SN - 978-981-4604-73-4 U1 - C 174 .90904 B11g CY - Singapore KW - Information technology - Moral and ethical aspects N2 - Many universities offer courses with titles such as Ethical Issues in Computing or Computers and Society. Some focus primarily on professional ethics for computer professionals. Others address a wide range of social issues. The bulky subtitle and the table of contents of this book indicate its scope. I also include historical background to put some of today's issues in context and perspective. I believe it is important for students (in computer and information technology majors and in other majors) to see and understand the implications and impacts of the technology. Students will face a wide variety of issues in this book as members of a complex technological society, in both their professional and personal lives ER -
