When discussing computer ethics, we tend to focus on all of the issues that arise from computer misuse. This concern is certainly valid; computers can and have been used for mischievous purposes in the past. Nonetheless, the computer and the Internet have been extremely beneficial to the development of human civilization and culture, particularly in the globalization of mankind. While the Internet was originally developed simply to allow two computers to communicate with one another, the Internet has evolved into a giant system consisting of digital communities and libraries upon libraries full of information. Despite the risks of privacy invasion and information leakage, we continue to use the Internet because it allows us to be a part of this world, to be connect with others and to contribute to the online communities. Thus, as Internet users and contributors, we have the privilege of helping to build our world's future global culture by using the Internet as a tool of positive influence and innovation.
