Ethical aspects of Information Technologies used by children
Carlos Ruggeroni


ABSTRACT

This essay intends to analyse te ethical side of the relationship that children stablished when using Information Technology in their everyday lives. I will make a conceptual frame to focus in what is an ethical problem and what is not in this essay. Finally, bearing this in mind we can analyse most general topics as social isolation, competition and violence, individual responsibility and authorship.
There is a huge bibliography about IT and society with diverse approaches and analyses, these phenomenon shows to some extent one characteristics of IT: rapid development and advances. The success of IT is obvious because it brings to society comfort and progress, but at the same time we embrace with enthusiasm this progress, other aspects of social life are influenced by IT like the ones mention above, which needs research.
As rapid developments comes to be a structural component of technological advances systematic studies are, concomitantly, in constantly revision.
