That seems to be the direction most people want to go. They're very comfortable with their heads in the sand.

Hopefully it won't go that way though....

Time will tell how the people will react.

If they don't move to fix the problems we have, I'll be packing my bags.

Last thing to keep in mind, is that with technology like this, there's not much time left to fix this problem. Once they have the control they desire with technology, resistance of any sort will be a joke. Moore's Law aint helping.

If you're a scientist or programmer and you're helping develop more powerful technologies, could you start sniffing glue or something? We need to slow this down.
