Three ways that computers have made the world safer are by Improved Communication and Emergency Response. This has made the world safer because, with the improvement of communication, this can decrease a lot more problems in the world such as if it is dangerous like a robbery or a shooting someone can contact help via phone as this would not be the smartest choice but if this is the only resource they have left then it is worth it or if someone is outside they can call for help. Matter of fact I heard this story of an African American woman who had gotten tracked but still had her phone so she waited until the van made a complete stop as I believe she was going to a different state the woman had shared her location with her boyfriend and he asked where are you she said she got kidnapped and go report to the officers so he went and the officers eventually caught the man and freed the young women. This is a way that computers and overall just technology have made the world safer.

Another is Advancements in Healthcare Technology computers have revolutionized healthcare with advancements such as electronic health records, medical imaging, and telemedicine. Electronic health records enable healthcare professionals to access patient information. Something that can also help is Medical imaging technologies like MRI and CT scans have improved diagnostics, there are some athletes that tend to get injured and they can get these scans, or patients that had underwent surgery like broken a bone can get x-rayed which will allow the patients to receive medical talks remotely/via computer.
The last one for making this world safer would be Enhanced Security and Surveillance as this can help lower the crime rates the police would have cameras everywhere so they could have a headstart and I believe this would lower a lot more of the crimes in today world and less people would die. As computers recreate a climactic and a key role in current everyday protection and surveillance systems cameras, and smart guard technologies help observe transmitted general locations.

The three ways that computers have made the world less safe are by Cybersecurity Threats and Attacks getting much worse more companies and organizations are getting data taken away from them and it is hackers every day getting into things like leaks, identity theft, etc. The digital globe gives a rise to cybersecurity dangers and aggression as the vulnerabilities in computer systems, networks, and software to pickpocket important personal data, become more corrupt.

Another is privacy concerns and surveillance risks the extensive usage of computers and technology for supervision increases anxieties regarding solitude violation. Mass information display, online search, and the use of facial recognition technologies can compromise people’s private requests and privileges. So the possibility of misuse of management methods by the governments, corporations, or malicious behavior.

Lastly, one more is the dependency and infrastructure vulnerabilities
in this society. As this society becomes more heavily reliant on computers and the cybernetic infrastructure, the more vulnerabilities occur. Critical systems and financial systems, are more likely to become targets for cyberattacks to hit.
