When I first began thinking and writing about computer ethics, I often found myself taking on the role of someone who counters hype. At the time, there seemed to be a good deal of hype about how computers were going to revolutionize the world. Of course, there were some thoughtful treatments of the potential of computers to trans-form the world as we know it and some intriguing and deep accounts of the social changes that seemed to be underway. My job-so it seemed-was to sort out the hype from the serious analyses. One of my strategies was to identify and emphasize that which remained the same aspects of society that were unaffected or being reinforced and solidified. As I reflect back on that time and what has happened since, it does seem that some pretty dramatic changes have occurred.
