The Android Generation - Targeting the Birthplace of Human Creativity

transmitted diseases are likely to drop down as date seekers can don the helmet and logon and exchange sexual fantasies without physical contact.

Anyone remembers Demolition Man with Stallone and Bullock having an “intimate” moment compliant with the new Cocteau social standards?

The internet and the online world will experience a new rebound, stock markets will soar as you remember the earliest and today some of the most prolific users of this technology are adult websites, porn and socializing sites.

Bandwidth communications groups will be overloaded as networks will sizzle with telepathic business conferences. No need for videocams as you transmit ideas and images from your brain onto others.

I keep asking myself where is the downside in this new promised golden age?

I also happen to remember constantly worrying about someone stealing my credit card information from online scamming sites.

And I do remember momentous moments of global fright when hackers unleashed worms that not only took away entire databases from Bank of America and other national institutions but also worried top security government agencies.

In a decade long stretch of database hacking and sensitive information at risk of abuse or

misuse, the most notable may have been in 2005 when information belonging to 40 million credit card holders were hacked as reported by MasterCard International and more than one million data records at Bank of America.

Other hacks included European as well as Asian government and military agencies.

This year the Wall Street Journal reported that Zappos, a major retailer, had its database hacked exposing 12 million consumers and customers.

In fact today there is a national security task force assigned to
police the world wide web.

What is there to worry about?

In a fictional movie, after telepathic devices and technologies have reached initial market penetration, I can imagine a few megalomaniac industrial fiends hiring hackers from Eastern Europe and Asia to concoct a world fright event, some kind of hacking into the budding global neural net.

Now get this, per the bad guy’s plot, these hackers are caught and new security measures are prescribed worldwide.

For our safety it becomes imperative that each person is
low-jacked with new cybernet-
ics - so we can avoid hackers
beaming telepathic instructions.

Remember now this is just a fictional premise, pure science fiction and it could not possibly come to fruition.
