The usage of computers have completely changed the landscape of the world. Single computational devices have assisted greatly in very specific tasks, and with the implementation of connecting the computer across the world, it has evolved the way everything is done, and how we all interact with each other. With this evolving technology, it has provided both safe spaces for systems, but also in some ways created new avenues for less safe world spaces.

One way that computer have made the world safer is immediate verification of identity. In the cyber security realm, this is confirming Who you are. With computers, they can store an identifying photo, and confirm the person somewhere else via a secure connection for verification.

Another example of computer making the world safer if by gathering immense amounts of data of criminal justice. With the usage of computers, there is extensive criminal science data being analyzed to pinpoint behaviors, and how to administer law enforcement more effectively.

Then another way that computer make the world safer is the electronic features certain financial transactions can take place. Applications that utilize digital transactions prevent people from carrying around cash all day, and have reduced the amounts of theft of cash.

Even though those are just a few of the many examples of how computer make the world safer, there are examples of how it has made the world less safe. One example is that computers have gathered such an immense amount of user data, that it attracts attackers to attempt to steal the information. People’s sensitive credit information has been leaked, creating an unsafe environment for their financial position.

Computers also make the world less safe for the fact that governments can carry out sophisticated cyber attacks on another country. The real world example is the Russian government attacked the Ukrainian power grid, which now has severe unsafe consequences.

Finally, another aspect of un safeness due to computers is the breach of security of information for people’s personal information for location and identity. There have been attackers on the internet that have pinpointed where people live, and figure out how to break into their homes for burglary.
