5.1 Beneficial and Harmful Effects

---

Notes

• People create computing innovations
• The way people complete tasks often changes to incorporate new computing innovations
• Not every effect of a computing innovation is anticipated in advance
• A single effect can be viewed as both beneficial and harmful by different people or even by the same person
• Advances in computing have generated and increased creativity in other fields such as medicine, engineering, communications, and the arts
• Responsible programmers try to consider the unintended ways their computing innovations can be used and the potential beneficial and harmful effects of these new uses
• It is not possible for a programmer to consider all the ways a computing innovation can be used
• Rapid sharing of a program or running a program with numerous users can result in significant impacts beyond the intended purpose or control of the programmer.
