"What is safe and responsible behavior for using the Internet? Cybersins and Digital Good Deeds: A Book About Technology and Ethics provides a comprehensive look at the innovative - and sometimes unscrupulous - world of rapidly evolving technology and the people who use it. This encyclopedic source helps even the most technology-challenged understand various facets relating to the use and misuse of technology in today's society. Topics such as blogging, the Child Online Protection Act, identity theft, the Patriot Act, and podcasting are organized A-to-Z for easy reference, with selections chosen because of historical importance, present relevance, and the likelihood of future impact. Privacy, security, censorship, and much, much more are discussed in detail to reveal the ethical complexities of each issue."--Jacket.
