Comment Why barcodes? (Score 2) 409

So we need a universal way to identify individuals? We have thumbprints. Moon could just as easily have called for portable devices to scan thumbs and identify the people attached to said thumbs, but she didn't. She had to make it all weird and terrifying by suggesting a well-known staple of horrifying dystopian societies. Oh how sci-fi writers have changed!

Comment Cybercommenting (Score 1) 166

Am I the only one who hates the prefix "Cyber"? Since when does "cyber" mean "digital"? Cyber bullying, cyber warfare, cyber crime; it's impossible to take it seriously! The mental images are too hilarious. When I think of "cyber" bullying, I think of a kid getting beat up by a robot. When I think of "cyber" warfare I think of Tron. They just coined it to scare southern housewives and the elderly.
