单选题Human reliance on information technology today is quickly becoming global. The Line technological developments in the areas of computing, networking, and software engineering have aided the transitions from paper to paperless transactions, and text and data media to multimedia. Today, speed, efficiency, and accuracy in the (5) exchange of information have become primary tools for increasing productivity and innovation. Activities as diverse as health care, education, and manufacturing have come to depend on the generation, storage, and transmission of electronic information. Computers are not only used extensively to perform the industrial and economic functions of society but are also used to provide many services upon which (10) human life depends. Medical treatment, air traffic control, and national security are a few examples. Even a small glitch in the operation of these systems can put human lives in danger. Computers are also used to store confidential data of a political, social, economic, or personal nature. This fairly recent and progressive dependence on computer technology signals a real danger for the human race. (15) Current computer systems offer new opportunities for lawbreaking and the potential to commit traditional types of crimes in nontraditional ways. For example, the threat of identity theft is magnified by our reliance on computers to assist us in everyday activities such as shopping and paying bills. Identity theft refers to all types of crime in which someone wrongfully obtains and uses another (20) person's personal data by way of fraud or deception, typically for economic gain. By making personal and credit information available on the Internet, people open themselves up to the possibility of a criminal obtaining this information and using it for nefarious purposes. This is but one instance of the negative impact that overreliance on computer technology can have on society. (25) As humans continue to make technological advances, so too do they rely more heavily upon those innovations. This is a dangerous progression that must be tempered with common sense and self-restraint. We cannot allow computer technology to control too many aspects of our lives, lest we become victims of our own ingenuity.
