Personally, I don't think computers make things more or less safe than any other tool or machine does. They fix some safety problems, while adding entirely different ones. Computers are tools like any other, they can be uses.safely or unsafely. It's the application of the tool, rather than the tool itself that is safe or unsafe.
Before anyone brings up guns, I realize they're an example of an inherently unsafe tool, they can be used safely, but this example of a tool designed for murder is not what I'm referring to. I meant more general purpose tools, which computers are. Though, as mentioned in the article, computers can be used for murder, it's not their primary intended purpose the way guns are.
