Publisher's Synopsis

When students start using computers and networks, they start operating in a new, virtual world. Suddenly, behavioral lines blur: is it OK to download text from a website right into a term paper? What should you say about computer chat rooms or copying software programs? This new thoughtful and carefully written book helps you-and your students-understand today's information technology ethics, from downloading explicit pictures to guessing passwords to respect for privacy, property, and the law.

 Help students explore the ethics of digital technology

 Includes the Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics with key moral imperatives for students of all ages
