ABSTRACT

The present article focuses upon three aspects of computer ethics as a philosophical field: contemporary perspectives, future projections, and current resources. Several topics are covered, including various computer ethics methodologies, the ‘uniqueness’ of computer ethics questions, and speculations about the impact of globalization and the internet. Also examined is the suggestion that computer ethics may ‘disappear’ in the future. Finally, there is a brief description of computer ethics resources, such as journals, textbooks, conferences and associations.
