Description

The pervasiveness of technology today has brought with it a bevy of ethical questions, many of which are difficult to answer. Average consumers place themselves at risk financially, professionally, and personally by everyday activities executed on computers and smartphones, and therein lies the responsibility of technologists and decision-makers to devise logical and ethical solutions.

Exploring Ethical Problems in Today’s Technological World focuses on ethical dilemmas created by today's ever-changing technologies and how these issues have affected individuals, companies, and society. The book further explores key areas such as policies, abuses, consequences, and responsibilities of different technologies and their users. Covering topics such as hackers, smart homes, privacy, and social networking, this reference work is ideal for ethicists, computer scientists, policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, academicians, practitioners, and students studying ethics, law, security, human-computer interaction, and computer science.
