Big Idea 5: Impact of Computing (AP CSP)

Essential Questions

  • How do computing innovations affect our lives?
  • What ethical concerns arise with computing?
  • How do laws and regulations influence computing innovations?

5.1 Beneficial and Harmful Effects of Computing

  • Computing innovations (apps, devices, AI, etc.) can have both positive and negative impacts.

Benefits:

  • Faster communication (social media, messaging)
  • Medical advances (diagnostic AI)
  • Accessibility tools (text-to-speech, screen readers)

Harms:

  • Cyberbullying
  • Misinformation spread
  • Job displacement due to automation

Be ready to explain the impact of a specific innovation—both pros and cons.

5.2 Impact of the Internet

  • Enables global communication and information sharing.

Risks:

  • Privacy breaches (e.g., data leaks)
  • Cybercrime (e.g., phishing, hacking)

Crowdsourcing:

  • Large groups work together online (e.g., Wikipedia, open-source projects)
  • Intellectual Property (IP): Protected by copyright, patents, or trademarks.
    • Watch out for: plagiarism, piracy, and proper citation.
  • Creative Commons licenses allow sharing with specific conditions.
  • Fair Use: Allows limited use of copyrighted content without permission (e.g., education, commentary).

5.4 Safe Computing Practices

  • Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication.
  • Avoid suspicious links and downloads.
  • Encryption: Secures data during transmission.
  • Be aware of phishing, viruses, and malware.

5.5 Analyzing Computing Innovations

  • Be able to:
    • Describe a computing innovation
    • Identify its purpose, data used, people affected, and impact
    • Explain how it works (conceptually)

The AP Exam may ask you to analyze a computing innovation like in the Explore PT.

Tips for the Exam

  • Be ready to explain both the positive and negative effects of a computing innovation.
  • Know how to cite sources and identify plagiarism.
  • Understand data privacy, ethics, and safe security practices.
