What is meant by “Ethics in Computing”?

How do we use a computer to collect, analyse or process data?

Data collection was covered in previous posts, such as:

• Collecting Data and Information – Questionnaires
• Internet or Intranet surveys
• Pilot Testing

Gathering data appropriately is one aspect of ethics in computing but how we then use that information (via software, applications, packages) is another and is just as important.
