Describe three ways that computers have made the world safer and less safe.

Computers have become an essential tool in many people lives both in business and personal use, but a tool can be used both to make processes safer or more dangerous depending on the will of the person using it. One way computers have made the world more safe is the ability to encrypt information to a greater deal, with the use of computers it takes more effort those looking to steal information to do so as it can be encrypted through multiple different means and multiple levels, added to the fact that there is not a way to physically intercept the information during the process of transfer makes the process much safer. Another way that the world has become safer due to computers is having individualized accounts that need IDs and passwords, especially in the case of those that have multi-factor authentications in place to gain access, it is much more difficult to gain access to private information and it is much easier to manage who has access to what. The last way computers have made the world more safe is their over all computing power, the ability to test and compute multiple variable simultaneously saves much time as opposed to individual calculations, allowing us to create much more accurate sensors, programs, and systems in much less time. With all the advantages computers offer us there are also many disadvantages that uncle themselves often in the same ways that they were used to protect us. One way computers have made the world more dangerous is how criminals can operate more anonymously through encrypted messages and currencies, virtual private networks, and even just anonymous burner accounts. Computers have also made the world more dangerous because of the amounts of private data being tracked and stored, especially in the event of a leak this can lead to things like identity theft and is often the subject of ethical debates on the right to privacy. Lastly computers have made the world more dangerous in the ways that we overlook things in implementation such as AI. Often during the creation of programs it can be easy to overlook certain factors and these can lead to discrimination even with best intentions, so it is important that all factors are accounted for possible and there are many different backgrounds able to check for oversight on programs.
