Some people believe that technological tools such as body scanners and CCTV have significantly enhanced our safety and security, while others feel that they have resulted in a loss of privacy. Do the benefits of these items outweigh their disadvantages?

A growing number of people are of the view that there is a rise of modern inventions which are useful in providing social safety.

However

, there are still some who feel anxiety while their walk is caught by street cameras or it is a necessity to have a body examined at the airport through special machines. In my opinion, the upsides definitely outweigh the downsides and in

this

essay, I will set out to explain why.

First

of all, when humanity was lack of new tools, there was a growth in crime and terrorism around the whole world.

For example

, everyone remembers what happened on the 11th of September 2001 in the USA. Unfortunately, it seems that airport security was experiencing the absence of high-quality equipment to check passengers more precisely. Nowadays every airport, rail station or even underground station has improved scanners as well as a face-recognizing system, that help reduce fatal accidents caused by murderers or terrorists by almost 0%.

Second

, nowadays every country, even the poorest ones, is able to provide airports with safety tools due to an increase in the production of secure technologies, a high demand among clients and smart marketing strategies.

For example

, there are low prices on the simplest devices, which are

also

useful to offer citizens security.

In other words

,

such

gadgets become more and more affordable among the planet's population.

On the other hand

, some people suffer from different psychological diseases

such

as depression or stress. Being examined by a scanner or photographed by a camera might be a trigger for individuals suffering from mental problems.

For example

, sudden panic attacks might be caused by

this

way and a person will need a professional psychologist's help to deal with it. To conclude,

although

some of us feel discomfort with new secure gadgets, I believe their importance is the key to humanity's well-being as it is the base of a safe life. Personally, I suppose that companies are working out on the latest devices and soon it becomes possible to find criminals in a few minutes and it will make our lives easier.
