Addiction:
Computers can only become an obsession, especially for people who are technology lovers or gadget freaks. Time saving gained by a computer can be swallowed up in a black hole where a manager or staff person spend excessive amount of time with the computers at the expense of many other needed talk.
Ethical decision:
Because computers can do in minutes what used to take days, there may be temptation to capitalize on that advantage. Several activities requires ethical thought by managerial staff and administration. For instance, when someone calls, I can pull the same up from my database and instantly recall the details I noted about our last conversation. It is tempting to leave impression that may recall comes from incredible memory or superhuman level of managerial concern.
Copyright laws:
Whatever a computer reproduces, including clip-art drawing or photographs or music files, should be carefully evaluated in likes of copyrights laws. Besides being wrong, it can be costly to violate these laws.
Software piracy is epidemic. One manager was beaming about his firms computer bought for small price from local business: “I feel like I got the right tool. It even has a word processor and a whole bunch of other software already installed.” Many firms are unaware that legal copies of softwares must include manuals, original disk, and licenses. Copies made by friends or those that come with used equipment cannot be used in good conscience.
