Cyberethics examines the moral, legal and social issues arising from cyber technology. It studies the impact of cyber technology on social and legal systems, and evaluates policies and laws developed in response. Cyberethics aims to protect personal information, control misuse like plagiarism, make technology accessible, and suppress dishonest business practices while protecting fair competition. The concept originated in the 1940s with Norbert Wiener's work on cybernetics, which discussed ethical concerns around information feedback systems.
