What are the principal ethical concerns should be conscious of in the use of information technology?


After reading this, you will know some views of mine in which I think is very important to know what are your limits, the "Do's" and "Don'ts".
Ethics and Information Technology, we commonly heard that in school and before anything else, what is these called ethics and information technology?

 
Ethics,is a study of principles of right and wrong that ought to guide human conduct.




 
Information Technology(IT), is the application of computers and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data.The term is commonly used as a synonym for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information distribution technologies such as television and telephones.




We are indeed a very much fortunate to have this high technologies that enables us to use it these tools to help us in our work, in school and even in our family. But to what extent that we can say that it is right or not, when can we say that he or she or even yourself becomes ethical or unethical in using these technologies?.


1.We should be conscious of our behavioral attitudes.

In my thoughts we are ethical when we are.........
  • using it to communicate to our loved ones.
  • using it to tell or to spread the good things or even bad things that matters to our society or country  maybe through social networking sites or phones.
  • we don't put such harsh words that may hurt someone.
  • not using it put fraud information and scatter it to society or to the world.
  • making things that are relevant.
  • make things that will benefits  you and others.
unethical
  • in brief explanation, the opposite of ethical written above.
  • Hacking of information.
  • posting fraud information on social networking sites

2.  Conscious in our safety. Knowledge in IT helps you a lot in so many ways but be aware of  making things that will endanger your safety, like the said ethical and unethical conducts mentioned above.



3. We should also be conscious of in the use of information technologies with regards to our health. Too much exposure have also a negative effects to our health.


In brief view, we have all the time and freedom to use all the these high technologies but we should be conscious on how we are using it specially in social networking sites. We can get a lot of benefits but also Be aware of the negative effects, it could be in making relationships, friends or for sure that will have an effect, our health.

God Bless!
