1.

Violation of Privacy

Nearly every life event is stored in a computer somewhere--in medical records,

credit reports, tax records, etc. It is crucial that personal and confidential records

be protected properly. In many instances, where these records were not properly

protected, individuals have found their privacy violated and identities stolen.

2. Impact on Labor Force

Although computers have improved productivity in many ways and created an

entire industry with hundreds of thousands of new jobs, the skills of millions of

workers and managers have been replaced by computers. Thus, it is crucial that

workers keep their education up-to-date. A separate impact on the labor force is

that some companies are outsourcing jobs to foreign countries instead of keeping

their homeland labor force employed.

3. Health Risks

Prolonged or improper computer use can lead to injuries or disorders of

the hands, wrists, elbows, eyes, necks, and back. Computer users can protect

themselves from these health risks through proper workplace design, good

posture while at the computer, and appropriately spaced work breaks. Another

health risk, called computer addiction, occurs when someone becomes obsessed

with using the computer. Once recognized, computer addiction is a treatable

disorder.

4. Public Safety

Adults, teen, and children around the world are using computers to share

publicly their photos, videos, journals, music, and other personal information.

Some of these unsuspecting, innocent computer users have fallen victim to

crimes committed by dangerous strangers. Protect yourself and your dependents

from these criminals by being cautious. For example, do not share information

that would allow others to identify or locate you.

5. Impact on Environment
Computer manufacturing processes and computer waste are depleting

natural resources and polluting the environment. The amount of resources

required to manufacture a personal computer equals that of a mid-sized

car. When computers are discarded in landfills, they release toxic materials and

potentially dangerous levels of lead, mercury, and flame retardants. Strategies

that can help protect the environment include recycling, regulating

manufacturing processes, extending the life of computers, and immediately

donating replaced computers
