Ethical values and practices for cyber society

With the exponential growth of computers inhabiting the earth with many millions of miles of optical fiber, wire and air waves, link people, their computers and the vast array of information handling devices together, we can say that we are living in cyber era. Our society is truly an information society, our time an information age. The question arises is whether the kind of society being created is the one we want. As we know that each and everything in the world has its own pros and cons, so has the Cyber system. At the one end cyber system provides incomparable opportunities to communicate and learn and at the other end some individuals or community exploit its power for criminal purposes. This exploitation can be minimized by implementing some ethical values and practices to those individuals or community, which in turn can be called as cyber ethics.
