Technology does not invite a close examination of its own consequences because of its lengthy, intimate, and inevitable relationship with culture. In particular, the Internet has delivered mixed blessings despite extravagent claims that it has revolutionized our lives and world. Issues concerning ethics and professionalism, privacy, autonomy, free speech, and ethics have often been recognized but rarely receive the careful analysis and illumination they deserve. Most of this <B>Third Edition</B> of <B>The Social Impact of Computers</B> is a study in the success of the computer in its incredibly wide variety of forms and applications.
