Computer Ethic

As professor mentioned, I am going to talk about “Computer Ethic” in my blog. According to Wikipedia, Computer ethics is a branch of practical philosophy which deals with how computing professionals should make decisions regarding professional and social conduct. The term "computer ethics" was first coined by Walter Maner in the mid-1970s, but only since the 1990s has it started being integrated into professional development programs in academic settings. The conceptual foundations of computer ethics are investigated by information ethics, a branch of philosophical ethics established by Luciano Floridi. Computer ethics is a very important topic in computer applications.
I have search couple of articles which relate to our topic Computer Ethic. “The iPhone Hacking Kit, step by step” is the one I like because iPhone is the hottest topic recently. The author teaches everyone hacking iPhone step by step. People can install other applications after unlock the iPhone. It is free software, just taking 30 – 45 minutes.
This is good news for publics, who have iPhone, but it is painful for AT&T. Publics will be more flexible about using their phone; however, AT&T will lose the ability to hold their customer using their service.
