Ordinary Ethics

According to the Gorniak hypothesis ,ethical theories of the west and those of other cultures in Asia,Africa,the pacific islands etc.,will eventually be supresed by a global ethics evolving from todays computer ethics 'computer ethics then will become the 'ordinary'ehtics of the information age.
In her 1999 ETHICOMP paper Deborah Johnson expressed a view which upon first sight may seem to be the same as Gorniak .
But closer look at the Johnson hypothesis reveals that it is very different from Goriank,In Goriank view ,the computer revolution will eventually lead to new ethical system global and cross-cultural in nature.The new 'ethics for the information age according to Goriank will supplant parochical theories like Bentham's and Kant's based on relatively isolated culturs in Europe .Asia,Africa and other regions of the globe .
Johnson hypothesis in reality is essentially the opposit of Goriank.It assumes that computer ethics,rather than replacing theories and principles according to johnson,will remain the bedrock foundation of ethical thinking and analysis and the computer revolution will not lead to a revolution in ethics.
At the dawn of the 21st century ,then computer ethics thinkers have offered the world tow very different views of the likely ethical relavance of computer technology.The wiener-Maner-Goriank point of view sees computer technology as ethically revolutionary.requiring human beings to re-examine the foundations of ethics and the very defination of human life.The more conservative Johnson perspective is that fundamental ethical theoriess willremain unaffected-consequently computer ethics issues are simply the same old ethics questions wiht a new twist and consequently computer ethics as a distinct branch of applied philosophy will ultimately disappear.
