Best Answer

There are a number of risks related to using computers.

1. Sometimes you might not be paying attention. You might wreck if you try to use a computer while driving.


2. Sometimes computers can make people lazy. They might put too much trust in a GPS system, for instance. So people drive off of cliffs, drive into lakes, drive through active construction zones, etc.


3. There may be health risks. Staring too long at a computer can cause eyestrain. If you don't offer proper wrist and back support, you might injure those parts of the body.


4. An irate person may harm themselves or another with a computer. A jealous boyfriend through a girlfriend's computer out the window and maimed a child playing below.

Is a standalone computer vulnerable to the same risks as a networked computer?

No. A standalone computer (that is, one which is not part of any network and which is not connected to the Internet) is vulnerable to a multitude of risks, but it is not vulnerable to the additional risks introduced with connections to a network and, specifically, to the Internet. The risks to which a standalone computer is exposed are a subset of those to which a networked computer is exposed. These risks primarily include risks brought in from users (owing to ignorance, carelessness or bad intentions), such as the introduction of bad software, computer viruses and some-such through portable storage devices like floppy diskettes or memory sticks. The additional thread to which a networked computer is exposed is a thread to pretty much the same vulnerabilities (malware, etc), but these can be obtained in a number of new ways, and may be obtained without the user knowing.
