The invention of computers has done a lot for our society including making the world safer as well as making it less safe. To start I will be writing about why I believe the world has become a less safe place than it was before. Firstly, people tend to get heavily caught up in social media to a disturbing amount. People will do almost anything just to be relevant including harm to themselves or others. The next point would be the amount of screen time people have every single day. The average American currently will spend 4.5 hours a day on their phone. The rate of people spending this much time staring at screens has increased through the years but it has gained some serious traction with the last decade. The amount of screen time can be dangerous for many reasons but it is unsafe because people forget what they are doing when they are on their phone. In the 2010’s a game called Pokemon Go was released and people were literally dying because they were too busy on their phones. The last reason why computers have made the world less safe is privacy. People can’t really be private anymore because they tend to keep up with the trends and post their lifestyle so now the whole world knows. While there is a lot of bad there also is a lot of good. Since computers have been invented we as the human race have been able to advance a lot including our first responders. They are now better equipped to respond to a scene then they were 100 years ago. The next reason is the internet is a great tool where people can search up how to do things in a safe manner if they don’t want to talk to others. The last reason that I will be writing today is the creation of specific safety apps. Things like Uber and Lyft may not be 100% safe but they provide a better alternative then driving under the influence or walking back home alone.
