The term computer ethics was coined in the mid
1970s by Walter Manor to refer to that field of applied professional ethics
dealing with ethical problems aggravated, transformed, or created by human
technology. Computer ethics is the analysis of the nature and social impact of
computer technology, and the formulation and justification of the policies for
the ethical use of such technology. Computer ethics examine the ethical issues
surrounding computer usage and the connection between ethics and technology. It
includes consideration of both personal and social policies for ethical use of
computer technology. The goal is to understand the impact of computing
technology upon human values, minimize the damage that technology can do to
human values, and to identify ways to use computer technology to advance human
values
