Changes in Hitchhiking

Prompt: "how do you think the use of hitchhiking has changed over time?...what do you think is the cause of this? is it beneficial to those in need or just overall too dangerous?..explain your thoughts"

Response:
I would assume that back in the day that people would think the people asking for rides were harmless and in need of some help. So people would gladly give them a ride to wherever. As time went on and movies portrayed hitchhikers as killers and psychos, people have been reluctant to trust people and would simply ignore them.
I can say I wouldn't trust people asking for rides, movies have influenced me too much haha. Even though I would give them a ride, I don't want run the risk of dying. It's always better to be safe than sorry.
