In today’s world, technology is both a blessing and a potential risk. It has revolutionized how we live, work, and communicate. From smartphones and tablets to AI-powered devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) connects us in ways we couldn’t have imagined a few decades ago.

But with these advancements come significant concerns about safety. We’ve recently(today) seen this in Lebanon, where hundreds of pagers were hacked, causing dangerous explosions. While the political story behind the incident remains complex, it raises an important question: How safe are we in an increasingly connected world?

We carry devices like smartphones, watches, and laptops everywhere—each one linked to the internet and potentially vulnerable to cyber threats. With AI and IoT making devices even smarter, the opportunities for intruders to exploit them grow. The very tools that enhance our lives can be turned against us if security isn’t prioritized.

It’s crucial for us to remain aware of these risks and take cybersecurity seriously. Stronger defenses, ethical standards in AI, and individual awareness are key to ensuring our tech-driven future remains a safe one.
