One flew over the CyberNet (Score 1)

I'm sorry but this guy sounds like he's eaten one too many Daffodil bulbs.

People like the net because it helps them get information. People hate the net because it gives out information about what they like to do. When you give up info on yourself, you hate it because it's like George Orwell's 1984. Some big brother IS actually watching you. Do you LIKE being watched all the time by a computer? I don't. I don't want someone else to know what I'm working on at home on my computer until I'm ready to share it with others. A truly smart computer card would remember everything that happened around you 24/7 so you could query it and ask it to repeat things you didn't really hear or pay attention to earlier. (So you don't forget to meet your wife at a restaurant or forget her birthday and the like. :-) ) But would you want everyone to know how long you were in the bathroom? Or WHY you were in the bathroom? Do we put smell sensors in the smart cards? Wouldn't they melt under some of these conditions?

Anyway, the guy's stuff is of an idyllic world where no one cares that the thief around the corner has a new supersmart card which can interrogate the machine once you've left and retrieve all of your information. Never mind your government has assured you that they didn't use Uranium 231 to power the card in your pocket and that new rash you've got on your rear has nothing to do with the experimental auto injection system they've installed into the current version of the smartcard so they can test their latest version of the plague on you. Never mind all of that.

But basically remember - there are too many people who do not trust the government, companies, and even their own families to allow us to EVER put ourselves at risk by becoming a mindless bunch of cows and bulls whose only purpose in life is to bring pleasure to those who want to have control over our lives. Maybe you are ready to get down on all fours and have a collar put around your neck - but I'm not.

And as for the rest of the six pages ask yourself this: If a beautiful looking giant spider started walking across your screen while you are logged on - wouldn't it freak you out? Heck, they had a commercial on TV where a roach crawled across the screen and the commercial had to be yanked because people were destroying their TVs trying to find the roach! And what about all of these viruses which come out. Don't you think someone's going to scream "virus!" when the spider crawls? After all - THEY didn't put that spider there. So some virus had to have done it! Right?

Common sense. People won't accept this. No matter what the wrapper. :-)
