Social, Legal and Ethical Issues

Catalog description

This course deals with the impact of computers on us as individuals and on our society. The rapid changes in computing technology and our use of that technology have changed the way we work, play, and interact with other people. These changes have created a flood of new social and legal issues that demand critical examination. For example, technologies such as Gmail, Facebook, and Instagram, along with music sharing sites and wikis, create new social, ethical, and legal issues.
