Abstract
It is important today, as never before, to continue to meditate on the themes of Computer Ethics that began many decades ago (Moor, 1985). Our society is largely dependent on the operations of the computers (and, more generally, on the technologies of information and communication [ICTs]) to perform its most essential tasks. The map of our dependencies draws, at the same time, the map of our own fragilities, and thus it requires us to be concerned with a moral meditation that involves, as well, the meaning of such fragility. In the field of Computer Ethics, this has demanded the adoption of several codes of ethics or conduct.
