    Computer ethics is about the responsible use
                      of computers, digital systems and information

                      technology, ensuring that they benefit society
                      without causing harm.

                      Computer ethics include the following:

                         Respecting privacy: Always keep  your
                         personal  information  safe  and  don’t

                         share others’  private  details  without  their
                         permission.

                         Being honest: Don’t cheat or steal information from others. If you use someone
                         else’s work, always give them credit.

                         Safety online: Be careful when visiting websites or talking to people you don’t

                         know  online.  Not  everyone  on the  Internet  is  kind,  so be smart  and protect
                         yourself.

                         Responsible  use: Always use  the  computer  for good  purposes  like  learning,
                         creating and having fun in safe ways.
