Sé por qué la computadora está robando todo.
Have you ever thought about the fact that your computers are stealing your information? Do you really believe this is really happening in the 21st century? If you are one of those people who are not technology – geek and you do not believe in the dark side of technology and computer, think about it twice.
If I were you, I would be thinking about how on earth can computers or mobile phones steal everything. It was said that cloud stealing is already taking place in our computers and mobile phones. This may sound like dirty jokes to you but this is the reality of our world today. Computers or mobile phones have been programmed to recognized faces and recognize who gives likes and following other people on Instagram.
That being said, nowadays information of all sizes and shapes is created on a daily basis and our computers and mobile phones are commanded to retain them and eventually steal them. Some computer scientists have predicted the fact that computers may create a fake war in the foreseeable futures. The media will be deceived into believing the fact that war could be going on somewhere and through the use of computers, media may fool the entire world into believing in a completely fake war created by computers somewhere.
How does that sound to you, ridiculous, frivolous or unserious? Believe you me, we have created computers and we have programmed them to steal our valuable information which may not be recovered in the future. Our last edition emphasized on the global issue of AI stealing our private information and computers are not exception in this case of stealing.
Nonetheless, this information is not scaremongering. It is meant to simply alert you and make you aware of the damage we may be doing to ourselves. Sensitive data can be stolen from our computer with impunity and without our acknowledgement. It is believed that many people do not believe in this unfolding problem and that`s why they turn blind eyes to the problem itself. It was also mentioned by Christian Cawley in makeuseof.com that some worms and Trojans in our PC and network drives could be infected with some malware which can cause damage to the host computers in order to steal valuable and important information. Just like the way we can use USB sticks to steal information in PC, computers, mobile devices can steal our information on our Instagram, Facebook and other social networking sites.
Additionally, you may have heard that portable hard disk drive (HDD) can be used to steal our private information on our computers. Besides, computers can be programmed to steal our data without any trouble or delay. If you think deeply about this, artificial intelligence could be responsible for this theft too. Do not get this wrong, it is not speculated that AI is bad. It should be mentioned that AI is important in our lives and it will still be important and decisive in our future events and undertakings but we need to exercise some caution too. However, it should be emphasized that computers and mobile phones will become more sophisticated to keep stealing our information.
Finally, the million dollar questions that may continue to be begging for answer are as follow; are computers really and truly capable of stealing our information and are we going to have clandestine war propagated by computers against our cyber security in the foreseeable future?
