Description
This textbook highlights the essential need for a strong ethical framework in our approach to teaching of and working in computer, information and engineering sciences.
Through thought-provoking questions and case studies, the reader is challenged to consider the deeper implications arising from the use of today's rapidly evolving computing technologies and ever-changing communication ecosystems.
This thoroughly revised and updated third edition features revised chapters with new and updated content and hardened the ethical framework. To cope with the rapidly changing computing and telecommunication ecosystem, a new chapter, Ethics and Social Responsibility in the Metaverse, has been added. The interface between our current universe and the evolving metaverse presents a security quagmire.
