In the age of social media and smart phone convenience, the world is simultaneously safer than it's ever been and far less safe.
On one hand, having our technology on us at all times not only allows our locations to be tracked if we get in a compromising situation, but also gives us a recognizably safe exit plan through the use of taxis and other transportation services.
On the other, these seemingly safe services aren't capable of completely vetting out those with bad intentions, so there is always a chance that as you pay for a safe way home, you've put yourself in more danger than you've realized.
