Human reliance on information
technology today is quickly becoming global. TheLine 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.
