Computer ethics

                                                COMPUTER ETHICS:

Computer Ethics is the analysis of the nature and social impact of computer technology and the corresponding formulation and justification of policies for the ethical use of such technology.

A Typical problem in computer ethics arises due to a policy vacuum about how computer technology should be used. Thus, the main task of computer ethics is to determine what we should do in such cases.
