Standards for certifying computer technicians professionals
When computers were primarily statistical devices, printing checks, and writing reports; the general populace had little minimal interaction with computer in action. Common examples of computer ethical issues in that earlier age had to do with programmer`s writing programs which perpetrated fraud in banking or stock transactions. As computers slowly and invisibly permeated most areas of our life, we entered a new age of computing in which the successful operation of the computerized processes assumed greater ethical significance. The general public had more interactions with and greater dependence on computerized processes. This change places greater significance on the activity of the computing practitioner. As the practice of computing has changed, so have the computing practitioner`s ethical obligations changed in both degree and kind.
