Many of us who are or have been sci-fi buffs have a deep inward cringe at things like the robot Cheetah that can outrun Usein Bolt:
Now the ever-watchful Herbbie makes me uncomfortable with news of Cisco’s grand new surveillance plan: a virtualized system in which each server can manage up to 10,000 cameras. Which makes me wonder, how many cameras are they getting ready to deploy? How can they be used or misused by their owner, and even more how they could be used or misused by anyone smart enough to hack into the system. Because there will be those, for dead certain.
Unfortunately, when I ponder this the word that comes to mind is Skynet.
