iOS 7 Bug?

      Is advancing in technology really worth the possibility of exposing our personal information to possible hackings? The new IOS 7 released by Apple Company on Wednesday September eighteenth has been greatly anticipated and downloaded by countless apple technology users in order to enhance their overall experience. However technology experts are already starting to find flaws in the new IOS 7’s programing to the point that an intelligent hacker can remotely hack any user’s device. Once hacked the hacker can look into the device to find personal photos, emails, and even access people’s Twitter accounts. The scary part is that there are also security problems that allow just about anyone to access your device with a few clicks or a few well timed swipes. While IOS 7 is still new and updates to prevent such hacks will probably be developed soon, how can we truly feel safe within our technology? Even when we supposedly upgrade it to the point where it’s the “top of the line” is it truly the safest or even most dependent software out there? While I have faith in Apple that it will resolve the problem fairly soon, it still bothers me that it made it through all the test phases and personnel tests before having to be found by the public after its release. And while I believe that technology will improve and become better and safer for all users, I also know for a fact that there will be those people who are just natural geniuses with technology and use their powers to inflict or cause harm for others as either a means for a prank or for personal gain. We can only hope that people who have these talents of hacking will do the right thing and let people be aware of the problems and malfunctions they find in technology.
