This book discusses key ethical and deontological problems concerning the use of the most
common information and communication devices. It focuses on the challenges of the new
environments we now find ourselves in thanks to these technologies and the issues arising from
the newly established relationship between the virtual sphere and the real world. Each aspect
is analysed by starting from a very specific example or a case study presenting a dilemma that
can only be resolved by making a reasoned ethical choice. Rather than thematically addressing
only one of the many aspects mentioned above (for example computer ethics or social network
ethics) the book presents a comprehensive introduction to and a co-ordinated overview of the
various deontological and ethical issues regarding the spread of the most common information
and communication technologies.
