The idea of a "hacker ethic" was formulated by Steven Levy in his book, Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution.

The First Commandment of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines states: "Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people."  This is one of the most important of the ten commandments because it deals with how one's own computer usage affects other's in their computer usage. If one engages in harmful activities toward others when using computers and technology, it can ruin the experience for the other party and lead to harmful activities, such as cyberbullying, occurring online and an unsafe environment.]]> 2022-09-26 01:07:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312741277 Question 2: Why do you think these violations occur? jessicamoran10 https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312755387 I believe students violate the First Commandment of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines most often because their access to social media platforms using computers is extremely high, and social media is often a breeding ground for harmful activity toward others online. Students often succumb to peer pressure and create accounts on social media platforms using their computing devices. Quite often, students do not fully think through the consequences of their actions on social media and may post harmful comments about others or may post harmful pictures of others online using their computers. This goes in direct violation of the First Commandment in that it leads to disrespectful behavior, bullying behaviors, hate speech, and more. Personally, I have witnessed cyberbullying online, both on social media platforms and education platforms, such as over Instagram and Microsoft Teams messaging. Many times, students do not believe they will be caught engaging in this behavior and do not believe their activity is truly monitored online, so they continue to engage in risky, harmful online behaviors on their computers. Finally, they may engage in these behaviors because they simply cannot accept differences of opinions that they read online or may wish to gain an advantage above another student by tarnishing their reputation online.]]> 2022-09-26 01:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312755387 Question 3: What do you think could be done to reduce or eliminate unethical behavior? jessicamoran10 https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312770240 In order to reduce violations of the First Commandment of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines online or eliminate this unethical behavior, students need to feel as though activity on their computers and the websites they access using those computers is being heavily monitored by supervisors, University personnel, and other professionals. Currently, most students feel as though they are not monitored closely and will not be caught engaging in harmful behaviors toward others online. This increases the likelihood of a student taking a "risk" and engaging in harmful toward behaviors others online. University officials and government bodies need to work together to establish stricter guidelines surrounding student computer usage and should considering implementing software that prevents or blocks access via a school-issued computer to certain websites where cyberbullying has a high likelihood of occurring, such Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. While this does not prevent a student from engaging in such activities on their own personal devices, it does limit the occurrence of this harmful behavior by blocking them from engaging in this activity using school-issued or school-owned devices. More generally, local and federal governments should promote ethical practices across all forms of devices and websites online through new and improved education legislation.]]> 2022-09-26 01:31:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312770240 Additional Resources on Computer Ethics jessicamoran10 https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312772327 2022-09-26 01:34:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312772327 Additional Resources on Computer Ethics jessicamoran10 https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312785441 2022-09-26 01:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jessicamoran10/qx4eo0bezs5vxtsu/wish/2312785441
