Ethics is more than just the golden rule. It is a principle of what is right and wrong. Part of the problem is technology has outpaced society’s ability to clearly label right from wrong. While many issues really only require someone to apply their common sense some issues require more deeper thought and analysis before determining right from wrong. It is our responsibility to give thought to the wise and responsible use of technology. It is a simple question of right and wrong! With the knowledge and ability to use a computer comes responsibility. The skills you are learning will one day provide advantages over someone who doesn’t know as much. However remember that your choices of right and wrong affect more people than just yourself. It is up to you to use computers in a way that doesn’t harm others.

Three things I learned from my reading assignment:
1. Follow the golden rule, “Don’t do unto others what you don’t want others do unto you.”
2. Respect begets respect. Respect others privacy
3. Be a responsible user of technology.
Implications:
Computer ethics should be properly imposed to everyone specifically today that we are now in the vast world of computer technologies .This article has just reminded us to be careful and be sensitive enough in using computer and other technological gadget advancement. Let us always be reminded by the golden rule and the other cyber ethics as they call it. But I still believe that no matter how many rules and standards we set in using computer…true implementation stills lies on our hand as users. So let us all be a GOOD & RESPONDIBLE END-USERS!
