Ulrich Beck's theory of risk society argues that modern society is increasingly preoccupied with future risks generated by technology and industrialization. Beck defines a risk society as one that deals systematically with hazards introduced by modernization itself. Technoculture both generates risks, like viruses or data breaches, and provides solutions, like anti-virus software, that can paradoxically create new risks. While technology brings benefits to daily life, it also introduces risks regarding privacy, security, and environmental hazards that society must continually negotiate.
