Just as the major ethical theories of Bentham and kant were devoloped in response to the printing press revolution ,so new ethical theory is likely to emege from computer ethics in response to the computer revolution.The newly emerging field of information ethics therefore is much more important than evenis founders and advocates believe.
The very nature of the computer revolution indicates that the ethic of the future will have a global character.It will be global in spatial sense,since it will encompass the entire globe .It will also be globat in the sense that it will address the totality of human actions and relations .
Computer do not know borders.Computer networks have atruly global character.Hence when we are talking about the computer ethics,we are talking about the emarging global Ethic.
