Here are three<br>instances of how computers have improved global safety. The first is the enhancement of<br>emergency response. A dispatch center resembling an operations center from a military film can<br>be found in most urban cities. a massive, dimly lit room full of computers. A dispatcher can view<br>emergency units on a map at any moment, use GPS to determine their location and adjust<br>dispatch accordingly. Furthermore, they may quickly obtain your current location when you<br>phone 911. Before the invention of computers, law enforcement, and emergency services had to<br>rely on maps and place memory. They can now proceed to the emergency by punching in an<br>address. The advancements in security systems come next. Prior to computers, security was<br>essentially limited to a lock. A live video feed can be transmitted from a computer to any device<br>you need to use to view it. Computers can be used to create an intrusion detection system that<br>can use a range of techniques to identify whether there has been a breach, including proximity<br>switches on windows and doors, infrared sensors, lasers, motion detectors, and software that uses<br>cameras to distinguish between an animal or a person.<br>Lastly, safety on public transit has improved, including cars, trains, and airplanes. In the<br>absence of computers, pilots had to rely on maps and landmarks during the day and celestial<br>navigation at night. Modern airplanes are capable of taking off, flying, and landing without<br>human assistance\u2014and they can do it more effectively. Pilots can now use sophisticated<br>navigation systems like Inertial Navigation (using lasers and gyros) for dead reckoning<br>navigation, radio triangulation, RADAR altimeters, and GPS systems while still operating the<br>aircraft, in place of stargazing or searching for ground-based landmarks. Without computers,<br>none of this would have been possible.<br>In terms of decreasing global security, computers have also played a role. Computers are<br>required for current guidance systems on bombs and missiles, drones dropping grenades,<br>sophisticated weapon systems, etc. Additionally, we can Computers can also be used to get<br>around the aforementioned examples. Computers have, in general, made the world a safer and<br>better place by keeping an eye on these systems and preventing incursion, thanks to<br>cybersecurity professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Works Cited<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Catteddu, Daniele. &#8220;Cloud Computing: benefits, risks, and recommendations for information<br>security.&#8221; Web Application Security: Iberic Web Application Security Conference, IBWAS<br>2009, Madrid, Spain, December 10-11, 2009.
