Book Description

The New Normal: Evaluating Social and Ethical Concerns in the Information Age. New technologies have brought us numerous benefits, but they have also created many social and ethical concerns. The writers opinion in Ethics for the Information Age is that we ought to approach any new technology in a careful manner, considering not just its short-term benefits, but also how its long-term use may affect our lives. A sensible reaction to information technology demands a fundamental comprehension of its history, an awareness of contemporary information-technology- related challenges, and a familiarity with ethics. In the Seventh Edition, Quinn gives an impartial look at the challenges technology both addresses and generates. As in past editions, he delivers material in a manner that encourages you to arrive at your own opinions on critical ethics concerns. Weaving in a key dose of IT history, the additional subjects keep the book topical and may work as either a solo reference or a supplemental guide for computer ethics courses.
