hanks,P. (ed). (1998) Collins Concise Dictionary. Glasgow: Bath press
Consider the definition of IT you have provided. How is this form of technology prevalent in our society? How common place has it become?
using computers, digital cameras, telephones, mobiles etc used to store information and communicate with others.
What IT devices or system do you feel comfortable and competent using?
websites, phones, computers, t.vs, cellphones cd players, efpos, digital camera
Thinking about your own fieldwork experiences consider how IT is being used in Occupational Therapy practice?

What ethical implications arise from the capturing, sharing and transferring of information via IT devices (e.g. mobile phones) or systems (e.g. internet)
confidentiality
Provide a definition of Computer Ethics (APA reference required)
