In this world, we see that computers are everywhere. There isn’t almost anywhere you can look and not see a computer. We all use computers in our everyday life and always have a computer on us at almost all times, our phones. Yes, that’s right, our phones are computers. So what I want to talk about are how computers have made our world safer, and how the rise of computers have made our world less safe. I want to start with the bad news first and get it out of the way and talk about how computers make the world less safe. One of the ways computers have made the world less safe is how criminal activity can be spread throughout the internet. An example of this would be how on the dark web you can get access and buy all types of horrible things. There can be child pornography, human trafficking, weapons sales, drug sales amongst other things. This portion of computers is probably the darkest side of the technology and it’s one of the things that’s pretty prevalent. It also gives these people a way to connect and share these things amongst themselves. Another way that computers have made the world less safe is some form of a loss of privacy. With the rise of social media, more and more people share more than they probably should. They share locations, places they’re going, places they go often. Having this lack of privacy could be potentially dangerous to that person sharing this information. If someone wanted to cause harm to this person they could easily look up this information and find certain clues as to where this person is. Another way that computers have made the world a less safe place is an increased dependency on technology. If there were some sort of major power outage, a lot of of things wouldn’t be able to function about it and inherently make our world less safe. Now, on to the good news, the way that computers have made the world safer. One of those ways is how it’s improved our communication. We wouldn’t be as connected with the world as we are without the computers. Another way are the medical advances that have been made. Without computers, a lot of the advances that have been made wouldn’t have been and there wouldn’t have been a mass spread of information without computers. Another way that computers have made the world a safer place is integrating computers with cars. Having computers integrated with cars makes driving safer, being on the road safer and also save lives.
