Describe three ways that computers have made the world safer and less safe.
The advancement of technology today is amazing. It helps us so much in ways we overlook everyday. At this point technology and cumputers are just a natural way of life. It is crazy to think they were not always around. But even though the advanced technology gives a lot of great aspcects there are always going to be consequences.
The first way that a computer had made the world a safer place is communication. Technology and communication are better and faster than ever. Computers can email and video chat, some computers can even call and text. Computers allow us to communicate with anyone around the world in a matter of seconds. This communication goes just from two friends talking to very important people talking. For example, law enforcement has computers in their car to search for information to keep us safe. Another way that computers have made the world safer is through education. Education has become easier and more accessible. For example, I have a lot going on at home so I do online school. Having computers has made it easier for me to get my college education and still work a full-time job. Online school just fits me better than being in a classroom and I am sure I am not the only person that is in my situation. I believe that having more people in the world that are educated makes the world safer. Another way that computers have made the world a safer place is the medical field. People are living longer thanks to the advanced technology that the medical field is now using. A lot of the equipment in hospitals is now computer-based. The turnout is amazing.
On the other hand one way that computers make the world less safe is that now a lot of people rely on computers and as much as we would like to think that they are full proof, they are not. Errors and malfunctions happen while using computers. Another way that computers make the world less safe is almost everything has to do with computers and all computers can still be hacked. We have to take extra security measures. The last way that computers can make the world less safe is that computers have become the new way of life and it is easy to get wrapped up in technology. Yes technology has its good aspects but it can not be all a person knows.
