Say this technology is available, and that chip is wired right into your brain... so now your mind/body can be hacked. All it takes is one program for you to kill yourself or others |
Developing/distributing such a program wouldn't be easy. And there are security measures that could easily be taken.
Besides there's risks in everything. When you consider all of the things that could go wrong with even the most basic of modern technology you can make it all sound extremely dangerous, but really it's no big deal. Our day to day lives all function just fine.
Even now I watch how teenagers can't handle being unplugged from the hive be it facebook, twitter, texting, cell phones etc... Technology is advancing too quickly and no one has stopped to think about the consequences. |
This has nothing to do with technology advancing. It has to do with being separated from what you've grown to accept as normal.
Before it was facebook, twitter, etc -- people would have freaked out if there were no computers.
Before computers they would have freaked out if there were no cars.
Before cars they would have freaked out if there was no electricity
Before that, indoor plumbing
Before that, modern housing
Before that, farming equipment
etc, etc.
There are always things we perceive that we can't live without, even though they aren't necessities in the strictest sense. I don't see why there's anything wrong with that. All it is is adapting to a growing world.
The fogies that are against it can go back to wearing animal hides, living in caves, and hunting for food with sharpened rocks. =P
but wait those sharpened rocks are also a form of technology and could be misused to kill people... hmmmmm
