Evil eyes in computer circuitry...a humorous stock photo about the dark side of artificial intelligence and online threats such as hackers, cybercriminals and malware. |
Artificial intelligence run amok, spyware, malware and
hackers are all ideas that are creatively shown in this stock photo of a pair
of evil looking eyes staring at us from within a complex network of computer circuitry.
This one image can address so many dangers and threats that exist in cloud
computing, the Internet, and networks on a global basis, and do so with
compelling humor. Pretty cool!
Computer Circuitry
And Evil Eyes
The computer circuitry is an iconic indicator of all things
computer including computers, servers, networks and the Internet. The eyes in this image have the
inverted arch of a severe from or an evil intent…a graphic that has only been
intensified in all of us through cartoons that we have all experienced
throughout our lives.
Threats And
Imagination
The “monster” like aspect of these eyes are enhanced by the
fact that some of the computer traces that overlapped the whites of the eyes
are red…as if the eyes had the red veins that are a further indicator that all
is not well. The eyes are all we see within the circuits leaving our
imagination to flesh out the details of the threat that is eyeing us. Depending
on the headline and text that accompany this image that threat could be Artificial
Intelligence turned against mankind, spyware, malware, or the hackers and
cybercriminals themselves.
Square, Vertical And
Horizontal Formats
Like most good stock photos the image has been carefully
crafted to allow for cropping to square, vertical or horizontal formats…and in
this case the image also is easy to crop for banner ads as well. It is a quick
read even at thumbnail sizes with a clear message of evil intent.
Stock Photos Easy To
Use
Because the image can be used so often in so many ways, from
online ads to newsletters to print advertising to social media and blogs, I
made it an RF image and placed with Getty Images. How an image is distributed is perhaps more important than
the image itself…if nobody sees it nobody licenses it!
Dangers, Challenges
And Rewards Of Networks And AI
As we grow ever more dependent on computers, networks, and
artificial intelligence, the need for visuals (read stock photograph) that deal
with such developments, will increase exponentially. I don’t think you can go
wrong at this point in creating stock that addresses the dangers, problems,
challenges, and rewards of both networks and artificial intelligence.
