Abstract :
People have been studying and practicing applied ethics for thousands of years. It seems sensible to exploit that work, particularly ideas that have gained importance over time. Here, I present three important ideas from applied ethics both to illustrate the use of applied ethics methods and to provoke some thinking among IT professionals about the ethical implications of cloud computing.
