The last century has seen enormous leaps in the development of
digital technologies, and most aspects of modern life have changed
significantly with their widespread availability and use.
Technology at various scales - supercomputers, corporate networks,
desktop and laptop computers, the internet, tablets, mobile phones,
and processors that are hidden in everyday devices and are so small
you can barely see them with the naked eye - all pervade our world
in a major way. Computers and Society: Modern Perspectives is a
wide-ranging and comprehensive textbook that critically assesses
the global technical achievements in digital technologies and how
are they are applied in media; education and learning; medicine and
health; free speech, democracy, and government; and war and peace.
Ronald M. Baecker reviews critical ethical issues raised by
computers, such as digital inclusion, security, safety,
privacy,automation, and work, and discusses social, political, and
ethical controversies and choices now faced by society. Particular
attention is paid to new and exciting developments in artificial
intelligence and machine learning, and the issues that have arisen
from our complex relationship with AI.
