The Ten Commandments of Computer

Tweet

Just a while ago, I was approached by my daughter asking me if I know the Ten Commandments of Computer. I was not aware that there's such thing as this. It was never taught in any of my computer subjects way back in high school or college years. And I was opted to search the web. Just want to share this to other myLotters about the ethics on the use of computers. Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics "Created by the Computer Ethics Institute" 1. Thou Shalt Not Use A Computer To Harm Other People. 2. Thou Shalt Not Interfere With Other People’s Computer Work. 3. Thou Shalt Not Snoop Around In Other People’s Computer Files. 4. Thou Shalt Not Use A Computer To Steal. 5. Thou Shalt Not Use A Computer To Bear False Witness. 6. Thou Shalt Not Copy Or Use Proprietary Software For Which You have Not Paid. 7. Thou Shalt Not Use Other People’s Computer Resources Without Authorization Or Proper Compensation. 8. Thou Shalt Not Appropriate Other People’s Intellectual Output. 9.
