Task 5: The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics

 

Unless you have paid for proprietary software, you may not copy or use it.

 

Some companies are tempted to purchasing just one copy of a product and distribute it to several computers. Organizations like the Business Software Alliance chase "pirates" vigorously, and if detected, they face heavy fines and unwanted publicity. Software pirates are rarely apprehended. Using a shareware product without registering it for a longer length of time is the same as stealing it.

Amazon prime is one of the best examples of the 6th commandment. Amazon prime is a streaming service that allows you to watch movies, TV shows, documentaries, anime, and cartoons. This provides you with a wide choice of possibilities. Great things, however, always come at a cost, which is why Amazon prime offers memberships. . Amazon's productions are usually well reviewed. However, the cost of a membership that you may only use every week or maybe once every month doesn't really seem to be extremely decent. People just look for pirate sites that do the same thing without charging 

It would be against the 6th commandment of computer ethics whenever this happens. (Smith, D.R., 2015)

Survey Analysis: Continued

 This blog post connects the dots between the demographics and the rest of the survey questions  (Demographic Analysis). Did you know about IoT before? That was the first question I asked. I found that more than half of the respondents (65%) knew about the internet of things or knew what it was. This indicates that IoT is becoming more and more popular.  Also, I asked my participants if they knew how it works? 12 out of 20 people were able to answer that they knew how the internet works, as expected from computing students  in the next graph, I have asked people if they have used one of the Internet of things devices. 50% of the answer was no as people didn't use any of the devices. On the other hand, 50% have used several devices like Siri (10%), smartwatches(5%), smart tv(5%), Alexa(5%), e-pay(5%) after asking people if they have used it before I have asked them how often they use it  the answer was as shown in the next graph 36,5% said they never used it, on ...
