摘要：It is not difficult to get computer professionals to agree that computers have a significant impact on society. It is rather more difficult to get them to agree on why computers impact as they do. It discusses several characteristics of computer technology that may be at the center of the effects. It is intended that this list become a focal point around which the design of new technology can revolve in order to anticipate the social consequences of a new product and mitigate any potential negative effects it may have on society. Traditionally,courses that deal with computers and society issues focus primarily on enumerating the various ways in which computers impact society. This is done by listing categories of topics such as privacy,computers in medicine,military uses of computers,etc. Classic cases of computer abuse or errant systems are typically described in detail. These examples are meant to serve as warnings to future professionals in the hope that they will practice their profession with greater care.
