Ethical+use+of+programming+(Trevor+Jewkes)

With society's dependence on computers it is important that every programmer knows what kind of programming to shy away from. With all of the information that is now in the computers each user should know to keep it private and not seek out to find it. The copyright laws are also an important factor that programmers need to be aware of. A lot of concern has risen over plagiarism so a lesson on that would be very beneficial. Each programmer should have the knowledge of what is acceptable and not when writing a program. They should be taught that "With great power comes great responsibility". It would be possible to include in this a way to help the user counter the different programmers who are not being ethical and where they can report to. The main thing with this ILM is to make it interesting and not just like a public service announcement.

Vicki: Important topic, but I'm not sure how we make this fun, engaging, and interactive.
