Ethical Digital Technology in Practice

This is an important book. Ethics is not an easy topic, and arguably the ethics of IT is less so--not leastdue to its potential for developing and evolving in ways that are either unforeseen or unimaginable . . . . Use this book as a practical resource, an informative and educational source of material in developing expertise, but also as an invaluable toolkit to support practical application of ethical thinking.

--Declan Brady, President of the Irish Computer Society and a member of the Board of Directors of the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies

Digital technology is about people. It is about those who plan, develop and implement applications which other people use and are affected by. It is about the impact on all these people as well as on the world at large. Ethical Digital Technology in Practice takes a real-world perspective to explore these impacts over time and discover ways in which to promote ethical digital technology through good practice. It draws upon the author's published articles in trade magazines, professional journals and online blogs. These are synthesised into a blueprint which addresses, in a practical manner, the societal issues surrounding the increasing use and abuse of digital technology. It is a follow-up book to the author's book The Evolving Landscape of Ethical Digital Technology, which has a researcher's perspective.

This book is a hands-on account of the computer revolution from 1995 to the current day when the world is increasingly dependent on digital technology. It explores some of the social and ethical issues that are part of this revolution. This is not a book about deep philosophical and technical concepts. Nor does it claim to be comprehensive. It is the author's personal account of technological change and its effects on people. It is written by a boy who was smitten by computer technology at the age of 15, became a computer professional and subsequently spent many years showing young people how to develop and use digital technology in a good way. It is a book based upon the author's engagement with practitioners, academics and students during the period as well as his continued fascination with this fantastic technology. Ethical Digital Technology in Practice is a book about the real world, of what has happened and what might happen as digital technology continues to pervade.

這是一本重要的書籍。倫理學並不是一個容易的話題，而IT倫理學更是如此，這主要是因為它有可能以無法預見或想像的方式發展和演變...。請將這本書視為一個實用的資源，一個提供資訊和教育材料以發展專業知識的來源，同時也是一個無價的工具箱，以支持倫理思考的實際應用。

數位科技關乎人們。它關乎那些計劃、開發和實施其他人使用並受其影響的應用程式的人。它關乎對所有這些人以及整個世界的影響。《實踐中的倫理數位科技》從現實世界的角度探索這些影響，並發現通過良好實踐來促進倫理數位科技的方法。它借鑒了作者在貿易雜誌、專業期刊和網上博客上發表的文章，將其綜合成一個藍圖，以實際方式解決圍繞數位科技不斷增加的使用和濫用所引發的社會問題。這是作者的一本續集書籍，《倫理數位科技的演變景觀》是作者的研究者觀點。

這本書是關於從1995年到現在的電腦革命的實際記錄，當今世界越來越依賴數位科技。它探討了這場革命中的一些社會和倫理問題。這不是一本關於深奧哲學和技術概念的書籍。它也不聲稱是全面的。這是作者對技術變革及其對人們的影響的個人記錄。這是一個在15歲時被電腦技術迷住的男孩寫的書，他成為了一名電腦專業人員，並在隨後的多年中向年輕人展示如何以正確的方式開發和使用數位科技。這是一本基於作者在這段時間與從業人員、學者和學生的互動以及他對這項奇妙技術的持續迷戀而寫成的書籍。《實踐中的倫理數位科技》是一本關於現實世界的書，關於已經發生和可能發生的數位科技不斷滲透的情況。
