With or without the pandemic, tremendous technological advances have been registered across the board from telecommunication to com-puting with jaw dropping developments. From pandemic fears and resignation to chatbot excitement followed by fears, we are being jolted into the new and constantly changing realities of our time. Along the way, these developments are creating an unprecedented convergence of communications and computing plat-form technologies that are reaching into all remote corners of the physical space and beyond into the developing and yet to be metaverse virtual space. These new technological developments have created new communities and ecosystems that are themselves evolving, in flux and difficult to secure and with questionable, if not evolving ethical systems that will take us time to learn, if it remains constant at all.As we look for ethical and secure computing strategies, the technological race is picking up speed with new technologies that make our efforts and existing pro-tocols on which these strategies based obsolete in shorter and shorter periods. All these illustrate the speed at which the computing environment is changing and demonstrate a need for continuous review of our defensive strategies and more importantly a need for a strong ethical and secure framework in our computer, information, and engineering science education. This has been and will continue to be the focus of all my writings on this topic, and it is and remains so in this third edition.
