Abstract
This digitisation of everything requires a greater emphasis on, what we should now call, Digital Ethics. If not, then a very bleak, discriminatory world beckons. It would be a world of privileged digital natives and an underclass of digital outcasts, a world of danger, domination and despair. There is a need to develop a new vision for Digital Ethics which is theoretically grounded but pragmatic, so that industry and government will engage, accept and embrace this as a modus operandi. This is explored in some detail.
