PART C: Reading Comprehension PASSAGE 1: The emergence of computers and the Internet is among the most technological advances that has happened in the twentieth century. Individuals have gained greater access to information of all sorts, and the gap that exists between technology and human intellect is getting thinner. As societies utilize the technology in various fields, some new ethical concerns have arisen. Extensive use of the technology has also made possible potentially unethical activities such as violation of individual privacy and other illegal forays into private network spaces. Not all network users are honest individuals, and not all of them adhere to ethical standards of moral behavior. Some computer users keep a large amount of their personal information on their computer systems or on the network spaces in social media. The use of social media is on the rise. As a result of this, hackers and other intruders have a greater opportunity to access private data, and use them for unlawful purposes. These concerns contributed to the rise of a field known as computer ethics which deals with the procedures, values and practices that govern the process of consuming computing technology and its related disciplines in a way that does not damage or violate the moral values and beliefs of any individual, organization or society.
