How can you tell if a computer is safe?

There is no way to keep your computer 100% safe because people will always find a way to access your information if they try hard enough. However, one way to keep your computer the safest it can be is to look out for software updates. Sometimes you will have to go into the computer’s setting and update it manually or other times have it where it will automatically update if a new one is available. These updates will fix most of the known bugs that the company has found within its systems. If a person chooses not to update their software it could leave them open for any cybercriminal to steal information off the computer, though a bug in the system. You could also download a anti-virus software on your computer. However, you will have to make sure that this is good and trustworthy software. If it is unreliable then they might just steal your information once you have downloaded the app to your computer. 

Describe three ways that computers have made the world safer and less safe.

Technology has become a major thing everywhere in the world. There seems to be some sort of technology in every house now a days. However, this technology can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what we do with these resources. For starters, one positive is that it has improved the way we communicate with one another daily. Now we have messaging and phone call apps that can help us reach out to family and friends faster. So, there is no more waiting around and writing letters or going to see someone in person to talk to someone. This technology allows us to get urgent messages out to others faster. This technology also affects the way that we learn. If someone were put into a bad situation and did not know how to get out of it, they could always turn to technology for help. We can use the internet to sometimes help us out of a situation that may be dangerous to us. However, one downside to this technology is cyber criminals. With the advancement of this technology there are people out there who will want to steal confidential information in the hopes of personal gain. They will expose secrets that could potentially harm the function or the world or a small group of people. So new advances in technology will be a good thing but will always come with a downside.
