Computing technology is constantly evolving and changing,
developing and consolidating its position as a vital component of
our lives. It no longer plays a minor part in society - it is
embedded in, and affects, all aspects of life, from education to
healthcare to war. Dealing with the implications of this is a major
challenge, and one that can impact upon us, both personally and
professionally. As a consequence, it is vital that all in the
computing industry make wise decisions regarding their conduct.
Using case studies and discussion topics drawn from entertaining
real world examples, "Pandora's Box" examines the background of a
wide range of vital contemporary issues, encouraging readers to
examine the social, legal and ethical challenges they will face in
their own careers.
Written in an engaging style and packed with international
examples, this book addresses topics which have come to the
forefront of public consciousness in recent years, such as online
crime, piracy and peer to peer file sharing. Comprehensive coverage
is provided of digital entertainment, censorship and privacy
issues, presenting a rich source of context in which to consider
ethical matters.
Suitable for students on computer science degree programmes, as
well as those taking IT related modules on other courses which
consider the impact of technology on 21st century living,
"Pandora's Box" is an essential read and a unique and timely
textbook.
