In Search of the Computer ‘Professional’: An Australian Perspective

Abstract

With impeccable timing, literally just before the so-called dot.com boom went completely bust, the Australian Journal of Professional and Applied Ethics (July, 1999) dedicated a special issue to the topic of “computer ethics”. The lead article in that issue was by the pioneering American computer ethicist, Terrell Ward Bynum, who edited one of the first books in the field of computer ethics (Bynum, 1985).
