Ethical and legal issues in ICT• IntroductionThe consistent use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the modern world offers us countless opportunities for individuals, institutions, business organizations and scientists, but it also raises difficult ethical and legal problems. In particular, ICTs have contributed to making societies more complex and therefore even more difficult to understand. The use of ICT has led to changes in concepts: ownership, buying and selling, rights of possession, theft, justice in the distribution of resources and access rights. In the 1990s, the Internet spread to all business segments, thus raising a large number of questions. It was noted that during that time period, a merger occurred between computers, telecommunications and media, further emphasized by the emergence of new issues and the strengthening of old ones. • ICT and legal and ethical issues The key issues surrounding the application of ICT are: privacy, ownership, responsibility, professionalism, social implications and values. There is no doubt that there are benefits arising from new technologies such as industrial development, travel to the Moon, e-learning systems and improved diagnosis in various fields. Technology inevitably advances and with new advances creates a gap in new legislation that is not always easy to address. The British Computer Society (BCS) and other professional computing organizations such as the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) recognize the need for today's graduates to be aware of the issues surrounding the use of computers in all aspects of society. The BCS is committed to raising awareness among future IT professionals and requires that developers social, legal... middle of paper... times... do not carry out quality assurance tests (which ensure that the software is in excellent condition) and as a result there may be problems with the software. Testing the software before it is distributed to customers is very important, because it could cause huge losses to both the developer and the customer who will use it. While a developer cannot be blamed (until they are liable) for bugs that cause harm, the developer's reputation is at stake. References • Duquenoy, P., Jones, S., & Blundell, B. ( 2008).
