Has this understanding changed over time?

As technology has advanced so have a lot of perceptions about the capabilities of technology. I believe social media has tricked a lot of people into believing that cybersecurity works a certain way, like in the movies. In movies, a lot of cybersecurity comparisons are wrong or displayed in a way to make the movie more appealing. When actors are \u201chacking,\u201d they show they can solve a code instantly or have some amazing software that can hack anything. This isn\u2019t the reality and for the sake of entertainment they make it seem like it is. The media has influenced many individuals into believing that since it is in social media it must be realistic, but it is hardly the case. I believe that the understanding has worsened over time. As technology has evolved, social media portrays more advanced technologies that don\u2019t quite exist yet. With CGI and other new features, social media can create fake worlds and software that seems realistic. I think this will continue to get worse as AI and CGI continues to advance. In older pieces of media, cybersecurity and hacking is much more basic and leveled down. In Jurassic Park, for example, they show a 3D UNIX system that is very basic and easy for the viewer to understand what is happening. In modern times, they show a lot of complex hacking and advanced software that the public isn\u2019t sure if it exist or not. The current media has continued to show unbelievable advances that will continue to evolve into everyone not knowing whether it exist or not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social media has created a lot of misconceptions about cyber security.
