computer and information ethics has grown exponentially in the industrialized world, and today the rest of the world has begun to take notice. As the revolution” transforms the world in the coming decades, computer “information and information ethics will surely grow and flourish as well.” What I Expect to History of Information and Computer Ethics Concept of Ethics Summary: In the middle of the World War II, science and technology already participated in inventing digital computer or devices, and also different equipment that can be used in the war. From that time, the study of information ethics was introduced. A scientist/philosopher Norbert Wiener predicted that, after the war, the new information technology will bring a dramatically change in the world someday. His prediction was true because since that day, after the war has ended, there’s a lot of changes happened in the world with the help of the new information technology. The introduction of the information technology brought an impact in our society today and this led to the introduction of information ethics. Information ethics bloomed during those times especially when a scientist/philosopher named Norbert Wiener published his two books the first book is about the new science of – and the second book talks about the social and ethical impacts of the “cybernetics” new information technologies not knowing that with the help of these books, Wiener laid the foundations of information ethics and computer ethics. During 1940s, this became obvious to the world. Concerning the ideas of Norbert Wiener about information ethics, it can be used to identify, analyze, and resolve social and ethical problems associated with information technologies of all kinds Walter Maner, a faculty member in Philosophy at Old Dominion University, coined the name ethics” to refer to the new branch of applied ethics that “computer Wiener had founded. Actually the name computer ethics was not used during the time of Wiener. It was only used when Maner noticed, during his medical ethics class, that computers might even create new ethical problems that had never been seen before. He coined the name ethics” to refer to this proposed new “computer field, and he developed an experimental course designed primarily for students of computer science. The course was a success, and Maner started to teach computer ethics on a regular basis. Wiener and Maner are some of the people behind the development of information ethics including Gotternbarn, Parker and Weizenbaum.
