这本书提供了一个广泛而深刻的观点，对普遍的信息和通信技术（PICT）的小，功能强大，往往是廉价的互联网连接的计算设备和系统所提出的道德问题。它描述了复杂和不熟悉的技术及其影响，包括增强现实的变革潜力，位置相关信息的力量和大数据的使用，并解释了潜在的威胁，包括隐私侵犯，安全侵犯和独立性受损，通常通过广泛和有利可图的操纵。PICT正在改变我们的生活方式，提供娱乐，有用的工具和救生系统。但是，将我们彼此联系并获得无限知识的智能手机也为系统提供了数据流，可用于有针对性的广告或警方监视。讽刺的是，PICT扩大了我们的个人视野，同时编织了一张可能诱捕整个社区的网。章节描述了PICT出错的特殊情况，但也强调了其一般效用。每一章都包括具体和一般的道德分析和指导。话题既像Stuxnet蠕虫一样集中，也像新技术改变医疗保健的无数方式一样广泛。这本书是为广大读者编写的，适合新兴技术课程，是旨在影响新技术发展的预期伦理道德分析的一个例子（Deborah约翰逊，2010）。PICT的发展速度超过了保护个人、组织和国家免受意外伤害和恶意破坏的法规和法律的发展速度。本书提醒用户注意PICT的一些危害;鼓励PICT的设计者、开发者和商人认真对待他们的道德责任，即使只是在他们的产品上市之前不造成伤害;并向公民和政策制定者介绍不容忽视的挑战和机遇。
This book provides a wide and deep perspective on the ethical issues raised by pervasive information and communication technology (PICT) small, powerful, and often inexpensive Internet-connected computing devices and systems. It describes complex and unfamiliar technologies and their implications, including the transformative potential of augmented reality, the power of location-linked information, and the uses of big data, and explains potential threats, including privacy invaded, security violated, and independence compromised, often through widespread and lucrative manipulation. PICT is changing how we live, providing entertainment, useful tools, and life-saving systems. But the very smartphones that connect us to each other and to unlimited knowledge also provide a stream of data to systems that can be used for targeted advertising or police surveillance. Paradoxically, PICT expands our personal horizons while weaving a web that may ensnare whole communities. Chapters describe particular cases of PICT gone wrong, but also highlight its general utility. Every chapter includes ethical analysis and guidance, both specific and general. Topics are as focused as the Stuxnet worm and as broad as the innumerable ways new technologies are transforming medical care. Written for a broad audience and suitable for classes in emerging technologies, the book is an example of anticipatory ethics ethical analysis aimed at influencing the development of new technologies (Deborah Johnson 2010). The growth of PICT is outpacing the development of regulations and laws to protect individuals, organizations, and nations from unintended harm and malicious havoc. This book alerts users to some of the hazards of PICT; encourages designers, developers, and merchants of PICT to take seriously their ethical responsibilities if only to do no harm before their products go public; and introduces citizens and policy makers to challenges and opportunities that must not be ignored.
