Three ways computers have made our world safer is the fact that it is easier to get in contact with people and communication, especially when you think of emergency situations communication is very neccessary, as well as for our everyday lives communication come in very handy. Another way is with modern medicine. Doctors have use the advancements of technology to their advantage, thus helping those who either need medical attention. Security is another way that computers and technology have made our world safer. Now it is easier to monitor things with these advancements. Now with pros there are always cons. With the advancements of technology have come lack of privacy. People share everything on social media, not to mention that majority of the things we do involve technology in some way. This gives cyber criminals an advantage. From online banking, to emails cyber criminals have access to a lot of our personal information. Before modern technology, like cellphones, and social media, gaining access to someone else’s information was doable, but it was much harder then than it is now. Majority of the important information we do have does not make it to the internet because we are aware of the risk of possible cyber crime. Identity theft is another way that makes our world a little less safe, with the advancements of technology. as I mentioned before it is so easy now to access someone’s personal information and literally take over their lives. You see this with the job hiring process too. Many jobs will ask you to enter your social security number into a database, and if that were to get into the wrong hands, it would not be good. Like everything in life, technology is both helpful and harmful to us. It is important that we know how to keep our self safe while online, while also minimizing our risk online .
