The Chimp & I
by Miki SaxonI often claim the label of Luddite and am know to my friends as a digital dinosaur (I spent the weekend upgrading from Office 2003 to 2007).
I’m not a lover of the Internet of Things, because I believe anything/everything can be hacked. (If you have evidence to the contrary, please share).
To me, the idea of hackable self-driving cars is a nightmare and drones make me cringe.
Obviously, I’m not the only one who feels this way.
It seems my revulsion is shared by my distant cousins.
However, if I react the same way I would probably be sued and possibly jailed.
The problem, of course, is that technology is light years ahead of society, not only on a moral/ethical level, but on a consideration of consequences — of which there seems to be none.
