New Technologies: Be Afraid! Be Very Afraid!

"The most Dangerous New Technologies"
LoLegag.com (March 22, 2008)

The ones mentioned are:
  • Nanotech
  • RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Mobile Payment
  • Digital Identities
I'll give the poster credit: the potential issues with each of these new technologies are real enough.

On the other hand, I remember when computers were going to take everyone's job away, when credit cards and Social Security numbers were the 'Mark of the Beast' (to some particularly fevered imaginations), cheap Japanese imports would ruin the American economy, and everything caused cancer.

Oddly, now that I'm living in the bleak future of the sixties, I'd rather live now, than then.
