Title: “Ethics and the Information Revolution” by: Terrel Ward Bynum
Quote: “Malicious software, or “programmed threats”, provide a significant challenge to
computer security.”

Expectations: Since this is the first chapter of cyberethics, I would like to all about the
ethics and information revolution deeper.

Book Review:
The author of this chapter is Terrel Ward Bynum, he defined the information revolution
as powerful technology. In the IT and human world, there are over millions of people who uses
computers for some reason, or they use it for their own purpose. It has become one of the
most important thing in the world nowadays, because it has a lot of uses, like in the world
government, they use computer to communicate with the high positioned authority, and many
more. During the 1940’s to 1950’s, they use computer as a tool for studying, making antiaircraft
during the world war 2. Computer ethnics was founded by Norbert wiener. Global information
ethics is evolving when days, months years passes, it evolves to a border, and also becomes an
important field.

I learned that by examining the computer evolution, it grows into better use.
