N2 - The use and development of digital information technology sparks a significant social structure shift. Luciano Floridi, through his re-ontologization technology explains that information could radically change the social structure. The re-ontologization is created through the interaction of inforgs and infosphere. The theory becomes the ethics foundation called information ethics (IE). Information ethics emphasizes infosphere with ideality without the entropy to explain the definition of ‘good’. Through the understanding of ethics as the construction of ideality, Floridi believes that humans are homo poieticus, a demiurgic characteristic of the informational and moral agent. Before becoming a homo poieticus, a human being must look back at his cognitive capability, especially in the rapid and massive development of information. Behavioral ethics explain the cognitive problem of humans as moral agents are limited by its ratio and habit. Behavioral ethics use the basic concepts, such as the limitations of rationality, the limited ethicality, and the heuristics inside of it. By understanding and realizing the limitations, humans can maximize their ethical decision making. These limitations do not allow for a holistic understanding of ethics and infosphere. However, through the limitations of keeping the infosphere, we must maximize the ethical decision making to make homo poieticus wise.
