Question no. 5

As a future manager, What is your computer ethics program? Justify each activity.
As a future manager, I would establish a computer ethics program that could develop a good relationship among the employees and the computer. Where they would learn how to respect each other and most specially, the company. For example:

(1) -Any employee should not invade, access, or interfere other persons private files on the computer especially confidential files and so that they can't also spread computer viruses w/c is unethical. Reading other people’s e-mail messages is as bad as opening and reading their letters: This is invading their privacy. Obtaining other people’s non-public files should be judged the same way as breaking into their rooms and stealing their documents.
(2) -Any employee should not use other people's computer resources without authorization: Multiuser systems use user id’s and passwords to enforce their memory and time allocations, and to safeguard information. You should not try to bypass this authorization system. Hacking a system to break and bypass the authorization is unethical.
(3) -Any employee should not use a computer to steal: Using a computer to break into the accounts of a company or a bank and transferring money should be judged the same way as robbery. It is illegal and there are strict laws against it.
