The Impact Of Information Technology On Society And Legal Requisites

Being a non-traditional student, I have the opportunity to attend school while also pursuing a career in Information Technology (IT). Within the field of IT there are many avenues to explore ethics depending on the type of business that is being supported, or what the technical specialty may be. For instance, if the business operates in a medical environment that treats patients, there are privacy concerns, and ethical standards that must be followed. The same can be said for the financial community, and education. While the breadth of Information Technology and the available specializations are vast, perhaps even more impressive are the amount of trust and ethical burden placed on the Information Technology professional.

Legal and ethical issues in computing are not as straight forward as one expects, these two comprehensive concepts can be divided into many sub-sections such as computer Ethics which is a moral standard used as a guideline for computer users, Code of ethics is a guideline in ICT, intellectual property is the own work that is created by individuals, privacy refers to the rights that individual and companies have and how their data is collected and restricted to outside sources, computer crime is an illegal act that involves computers and finally cyber law which is laws that are related to helping protect the internet and other online communication.

The first part of the Association of Information Technology Professionals document, lists six major stockholders that IT professionals are obligated towards. These include: management, fellow members, society, employers, college or university and country. The Standards of Conduct then further break down four of these areas (management, fellow members, society and employers). First; however, it reminds the reader that these are rules above and beyond “the appropriate laws of country and community.” Some common bullet points within each section are as follows. Firstly, most talk about having an obligation to have up-to-date knowledge. Secondly, almost all talk about either taking responsibility for your work or at the very least not taking credit for the work of others. Thirdly, honesty is a big player whether that be through misinforming employers or society to interactions with fellow members. Along with honesty is the command to protect confidential information that is placed in our authority. Lastly, in every section there is a focus on not taking advantage of the knowledge or inexperience of others for personal gain.

As the utilization of PCs and the web turns out to be more predominant, moral issues identified with PC use will keep on making a bigger effect on individuals' lives and the way that society capacities. PC morals include the ethical standards and behavioral rules related to the path in which people, associations, and society all in all utilization PCs and data innovation. A few cases of moral issues identified with PC utilize incorporate individual data protection, PC security, wholesale fraud, licensed innovation, level with access to data and so on.

Over the last several years, the issue of IT ethics has been increasingly brought to the forefront. This is because of transformations occurring through rapid advancements and the way various applications are utilized. To fully understand what is taking place requires conducting an annotated bibliography on the subject and the impact it is having on these standards. These findings will highlight the overall scope of the challenges and the long term effects they are having on stakeholders.

From the very first discussion where we were tasked to consider what a CIO should do, I was keenly aware of how our own perspectives were such a large part of how we phrased our responses. Regardless of the topic, thinking from the consumer perspective is different from the business or information technology perspective. In this class, it has become apparent that information technology has its own perspective and set of ethics. In this class, we tried to apply traditional ethics to the uses of information technology, but often found that they do not fit as seamlessly as other technologies have in the past. This is because of the business perspective, the uniqueness of the technology, and the uncontrollability and thus unaccountability of the internet. It is clear that both private citizens and corporations do not adhere to the same ethical beliefs when information technology is part of the equation. I realized that our perspectives are often an expression of our ethics.

Prior to the age of technology, ethics include the moral decisions made by individuals relative to the social and the acceptable norms of the time. Ethics, more specifically, computer ethics have developed due to advancements of IT. Information technologies were initially established as reliable means of communication and exchanging information in an efficient and effective manner; but they have intertwined into various aspects of our society and become so much more. These technologies have created a place to discover friendships, find love, socially gather and, etc.

This section provides learning experience or reflective task that related to what I have learned from this course through quiz, assessment and understanding textbook content. First of all, the Professional Practice in IT course is one type of standard subject as ethics are part of every beliefs and play a substantial role in nurture of a human. Furthermore, most of the people should be interconnected about the after effects of technology and they must not be upset by use of any technology. The significant thought that I consider to understand and reading the text book that give me knowledge of ethical technology. The textbook is related to ethical technology and from that EDM is most important concept to figure out the factors that are occurred

Some of the issues that I would like to explore in this paper, are the intersection of information laws, and how they intersect with the ethical standards, and the actual practice. Since computers and technologies grow extremely fast, the laws are unable to govern new developments in the field. Therefor those that develop these systems and programs have an ethical imperative to, analysis the impact that these systems could have on others. When new technologies and standards are created, one must look at the effect of the technology, and the possible ways that someone could maliciously obtain, or misuse data.

“An ethical framework is a way of structuring your deliberation [discussion] about ethical questions,” according to the Center for Ethical Deliberation (Frameworks, 2007). The impact of ethics on technology applications in the schools is decreasing as information is being passed through the portals without regards to implications on the students’ future. Within the student information systems that are used in the schools employees are becoming careless with students’ data. “The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy interests of students” (National Forum on Education Statistics, 2006, Pg. 2). Employees of the

The problem to be investigated is the ethical use of Information Technology (IT) in today’s world. In the past, the information technology advancements had limited impact on societies and cultures. However, in today’s world, information technology is almost part of every business, educational institute, and even personal activity (Brooks, 2010). This paper presents the power of information technology field and whether developing a code of ethics would be worthwhile to focus on the challenges in the usage of information technology.

In the early years of computers and computerized technology, computer engineers had to believe that their contribution to the development of computer technology would produce positive impacts on the people that would use it. During the infancy of computer technology, ethical issues concerning computer technology were almost nonexistent because computers back then were not as multifaceted as they are today. However, ethical issues relating to computer technology and cyber technology is undeniable in today’s society. Computer technology plays a crucial role in all aspects of our daily lives. Different forms of computer technology provide unique functionalities that allow people to perform daily activities effectively and efficiently. In

The computers and the Internet is one of the most technological advances that has happened in the twentieth century. The public has in a greater way gained access and information, and the gap that exists between technology and intellect of individuals is getting thinner. As society utilizes technology for more purposes many more ethical concerns have arisen. The enhancing use of technology has given way for unethical activities that encompasses violation of privacy and other illegal purposes, to crop up. Individuals are not all honest and as we see all do not to adhere to the ethical standards of behavior when it comes to technology.

IT Professional is a publication (Keith W. Miller 2009), it is such like book publication, it also has copyright problem, plagiarism problem, and many problems like book publication, so, to be the Professionals, they must act like the book authors to solve these problems. In aspects of IT, the side of ethical problems are including advice on how professionals can recognize, analyze, and make judgments on challenging questions about right, wrong, and computing. Computers have become essential tools of modern humans, regardless life, entertainment, education, work, and business are related with computer. Computer impact on human society very much. So knowing the Information Technology Ethics is very important to everyone, because it is useful to everyone who lives in this
