What happened? Where did our knowing right from wrong go too?
The gap among the rich and poor nations, rich and poor citizens exists.
How can it be eliminated or reduced eithically and morally to provide
information and services that will move them to into the world of
cyberspace?
Will the poor be cut off from job opportunities, education, entertainment,
medical care, shopping, voting - because they cannot afford a connection
to the global information network?
Whose laws will apply in cyberspace when hundreds of countries are
incorporated into the global network?
Are we missing an opportunity to introduce ethics at an early age in
children by not integrating these thoughts and practices in video games?
Should more controls and regulations be introduced into the system? Will
they actually help to improve our moral and ethical behavior?
