You're going to have to look this up in your book or something, computers have thousands of uses, from simple email to playing movies to sorting files, etc. etc.

I think first on the list would be communication.  Computing technology allows for massively improved communication.  It is easier (look how easy it it was for you to contact me).  It is quicker (imagine how many months it would have taken you to get answers to your questions if you'd had to use snail mail).  And the content is much richer (you can send anything at all to me except touch, taste and smell---and they're working on them!)\n\nSecond on the list would probably be information.  Communication and information are very much associatated, but let's look specifically at the content of what you can send and receive.  You can send me anything at all that fits in the audio or visual range.\n\nAnd then there's the fact that the use of computers makes our lives easier.  They are execellent at doing complex calculations for us.  They allow us to simulate things rather than actually doing them (that, I understand, is how the USA continues to develop its nuclear weapons: through simulation... but you might want to check that fact).\n\nFor more information you might like to make your way through the links on this page\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computing\n\nGood luck

INTRODUCTION\n\nAlthough I have a deep personal and professional interest in the Internet, I had never really thought of the Internet as an ethical issue until I was first contacted – by e-mail, of course – by Professor Marc Le Menestrel.\n\nMarc is both Assistant Professor of Management at the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain and visiting Professor of Business Ethics at the international business school of INSEAD [click here] at Fontainebleau, just outside Paris, France.\n\nAt the time that he first contacted me, Marc was in Singapore which is the newly-opened Asia campus of INSEAD. Together with his senior colleague Professor Henri-Claude de Bettignies, he was running a 16-session course with the intriguing title: "Individual, Business & Society: The Ethical Dilemma”. One of the sessions was called “Who should regulate the Internet?” and this session was focussed on a case study of the LICRA vs Yahoo! legal action in France.\n\nSubsequently, I visited the main INSEAD campus at Fontainebleau, talked with Professors de Bettignies and Le Menestrel, and gave a videotaped interview of the Yahoo! case to Marc Le Menestrel and his American colleague Mark Hunter.\n\nThis exchange has led me to think much more about the issue of Internet ethics. Is it an oxymoron, like ‘military intelligence’ or ‘English cuisine’, or is it simply common sense and, in that sense, an orthodoxy?\n\nThis paper examines three related issues:\n\n    * What is the Internet and how does its past development and current operations relate to questions of ethics?\n\n    * Is there a place for ethics on the Internet and, if so, how would this manifest itself?\n\n    * What does the LICRA vs Yahoo! legal case tell us that is relevant to the debate about Internet ethics? \n\nWHAT IS THE INTERNET?\n\nIt is essential to start with some understanding of the history and the nature of the Internet.\n\nWhere did it come from?\n\n    * The Internet started life in 1969 as the US Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency network (known as ARPAnet). It was designed to provide a distributed, flexible and self-healing command network which would enable the US military to continue operating even if Soviet military missiles took out certain geographical locations on the network.\n\n    * Following its creation as a network for the American military, the Internet – as it became called – evolved into a network for the American academic community, starting with universities and then spreading outwards.\n\n    * Newsgroups, where most child pornography on the Net is located, and chat rooms, where children are most vulnerable to approaches by paedophiles, followed the evolution of the ARAPnet into the Internet, but preceded and are independent of the World Wide Web.\n\n    * In 1989, what is now arguably the most popular feature of the Internet, the World Wide Web, was developed by the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee during his time at CERN in Switzerland.\n\n    * If there was one year in which the Web could be said to have taken off, it was in 1993, when the number of users doubled and the Internet really entered media consciousness and public debate. Today there are around 400 million Internet users world-wide. \n\n[For a much more detailed history of the Internet, see the Hobbes Internet Timeline click here]\n\nWhat are the implications of this evolution for the ethics debate?\n\n   1. The distributed nature of the Internet – based on packet switching and the routing and rerouting of packets along multitudinous networks and nodes – makes any central control of the medium impossible, even if it was thought desirable.\n\n   2. The Internet was developed originally for military and then academic purposes. As originally conceived and used, it was a closed network with specific uses and functions and therefore, initially at least, never provoked a debate about ethical issues in the way that cinema or radio or television

Computers Have Changed Our Lives\nby Patricia Wong\n\n    It’s amazing how computers have changed our lives. For example, computers have made work easier. Before computers, work took more time, because everything was manual and had to be printed, so finding files and information was difficult and slow. In contrast, now every office and business uses computers.  Places like stores, restaurants, offices, hospitals, police departments, airports, etc, use computers because computers can keep a lot of information which is organized in files or programs and easy to find in one place and in a short time. Besides, computers can control machinery and engines faster and efficiently than if someone has to do it personally. Also, computers have influenced our everyday life. Before the computers, for example, we use to buy things personally, by mail or by phone. But with computers, we can buy anything and request information about items that we want in short time and without the necessity of going to the stores.  Also, with computers we have the possibility of playing games, reading books, listening to music, watching movies, pictures, etc. in only one place and very fast without the necessity of going to different places. Furthermore, cars are equipped with computers such as, those that can inform us about the temperature, if the engine has a problem, open a window by pressing a button or finding a street. In addition, we can chat or e-mail someone wherever and whenever we want in a short time and with the certainty that this person has received our message and will have an answer very soon.      Otherwise, computers have changed the way that we can learn in school. We can use the computer as a word processor that is more comfortable and easier to use than a typewriter. With the computer, we can get a lot of information quickly from the Internet so we don’t have to go to the library and look for a lot of books. In addition, computers help us to keep a lot of information and process it quickly and them use it anytime. As you can see, there are some examples of how computers have changed our life and made it more comfortable and easy.\n\n\n\nhope  this  will  help  u

Safe? Yes. Is it ethical? Probably not but I think the rule of thumb is jump on and do what you have to do quickly and get off. You are in essence borrowing (stealing) thier bandwidth and it is more polite that if you HAVE to use it just be brief so it does not interfere with what they want to do with the bandwidth they paid for. Not that I am on the moral high road. I do it from time to time but I just get on check e-mail an get off. i don't surf for too long.

They can monitor EVERYTHING you do. Every site you visit, every keystroke in fact if you are at work now they know what you just typed. Keep in mind, they can and will have all your passwords as well. I have a program called Remote Administrator that allows me to sit here and watch my kids on their pc from my pc as if I was standing there.

JENKINS!!!! You know full well that it is against company policy to use computers for personal matters. I have noted that you logged onto answers.yahoo.com and have spent far too much time doing it.\n\nI want you and your personal belonings out the door within the hour, do I make myself CLEAR?!

Nope, The computer is a substitute.  We do this because we are missing something elsewhere.  If we find peace and satisfaction, we won't be on this gig any more.  What are you missing?
