Ambitions in Life as a Computer Science Student

Module 6 - If you are to choose your top 3 difficult-to-follow computer ethics commandments, what are these? Explain why.

If I were to choose top three computer ethics commandments that are difficult-to-follow, these would be the following:

·        Thou shalt not snoop around other people’s files.

 This is because sometimes, my curiosity would really come out and so making me snoop and browse on other people's file. But as of now; I am trying myself not to do this thing anymore since I know that this act is unethical.

·        Thou shalt not use or copy software for which you have not paid.

As a student, sometimes we have to do this because of the need to have one. Since we cannot still afford to buy the licensed one, but little by little I'm trying hard to adapt and have the Open Source Software.

·        Thou shalt not use other people’s computer resources without authorization.

  Sometimes, I use computer resources from other people without asking them first permission if I can do so. But now, I see to it that I ask them first to show respect.
