                 and guardians.





                        COMPUTER ETHICS


                 Computer ethics are rules for using computers

                 in a kind,  honest  and safe way. Keep  your
                 personal  information  safe,  tell  the  truth  and

                 respect others when you talk or share things
                 on the Internet.

                 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.
