5.10 Ethical and Social Implications of Computing Systems

Enduring Understanding

While programs are typically designed to achieve a specific purpose, they may have unintended consequences.

Learning Objective

Explain the ethical and social implications of computing systems.

Essential Knowledge

System reliability is limited. Programmers should make an effort to maximize system reliability.

Legal issues and intellectual property concerns arise when creating programs.

The creation of programs has impacts on society, economies, and culture. These impacts can be beneficial and/or harmful.
