Do technologies have a positive or negative effect on personal

safety? Support your position with specific examples.


The effect of technology on personal safety is complex, as it can
have both positive and negative effects. Technology has
undoubtedly improved safety in many ways, from the
development of home security systems to the development of
medical technology that can help treat injuries and illnesses. On
the other hand, technology can also have a negative effect on
safety, as it can be used to facilitate crime and other dangerous
activities. One example of a positive effect of technology on
personal safety is the development of home security systems.
These systems provide an extra layer of protection that can
prevent break-ins and other criminal activity. Home security
systems can include motion sensors, cameras, and alarms, all of
which can be used to alert the homeowner to any potential
danger. Additionally, many home security systems are now
connected to the internet, allowing homeowners to monitor their
homes from anywhere in the world. Another example of a positive
effect of technology on personal safety is the development of
medical technology. Technology has allowed doctors to diagnose
and treat medical conditions more quickly and accurately than
ever before. For instance, MRI and CT scans can provide detailed
images of internal organs and tissues, allowing doctors to identify
and diagnose medical conditions more quickly and accurately.
