Computers have many pros and cons. They have allowed so much information to be found in a short period of time. They are also very convenient and can be used virtually anywhere with an internet connection. Although computers have many pros, there is also a dark side to them. Computers are safe, but they must be used with caution. Computers have also made the world safer through security measures. Multi-factor authentication allows people’s computers to have more enhanced security measures. This extra security layer keeps all hackers from trying to log into your computer and steal your information. Computers are also safe to use because the computer has security measures. Software such as malware scanning and other processes have automatic security processes built into the computer so that all security threats your computer comes into contact with can be caught and taken down immediately. 

Some ways computers have made the world less safe are the rise in cybercriminals and cybercrime. Computers allow you to do so much in such a short period of time, and this has caused criminals to find a new way to commit crimes. Since a new device was made, new crimes and criminals have been committed as a result. Since the computer was invented, new crimes have been committed, including malware, phishing, and ransomware. Cybercriminals also target businesses to steal information and data that they should not have any access to. Things such as financial records, personal information, and so much more have been stolen by cybercriminals. Fast-growing technological advances like artificial intelligence (AI) have brought so many unsafe things to computers. This technology has many security issues, and with the fast rate and popularity of the software, it takes a lot of work to control at this rate. Many people worry about AI and what it could do to our daily lives.
