Code of Ethics

The Ten Commandments of Technology Ethics

1. Thou shalt not share, record, copy, transmit, delete, or in any way alter information that is not of personal belonging and then claim it as so.
2. Thou shalt not try to hack into anything with a password. Passwords are there for a reason, and they should not be broken into.
3. Thou shalt not create false identities, either by blocking their caller ID, creating a fake online profile, or any form of promoting something that you are not.
4. Thou shalt not use hidden capabilities, such as three-way calling, or reading chat or text discussions that were not directly intended for them to see or hear.
5. Thou shalt not use the internet or any other form of technology to gather information on another person for negative puposes.
6. Thou shalt not rudely ignore someone via cell phone and later blame it on bad connection or reception.
7. Thou shalt not talk obnoxiously loud in public places.
8. Thou shalt not try to multi-task with technology in any form while trying to perform a task or carry on a conversation.
9. Thou shalt not abuse picture taking capabilities by taking embarrassing and unappreciated photos of others.
10. Thou shalt not use technology as a cheating device under any circumstances, i.e; using a cell phone on a math test where calculators are not permitted.
