When I was a kid, we drove around in cars without seatbelts... no one on a motorcycle wore a helmet... all the playground equipment was made from thick steel poles that really put a dent in you when you ran into them... and no one had air conditioning. Today... that's where we are with what we have in computers. We've figured out they can be useful... but they've been made to be rudimentary in controlling others access... made DELIBERATELY unsafe... and there is enormous resistance to fixing that problem... by those who see a benefit from having them work that way... See that in reverse... in a conversion from the digital to the analog would... and they would be arguing that having locks on our doors is a bad idea... because, while they might help keep out thieves... they might stop the authorities from coming to rescue us... or prevent them checking up on us "to make sure we're safe" ? In result... the potential computers have to help us... comes paired with new risks that will likely soon exceed the value... perhaps by a wide margin. I'd say that the next generation will marvel at how we survived it... but that would require assuming we do ? In the past, we've adapted to the new technologies well inside a generation... but, with computers the technology itself seems to be evolving faster than we can adapt to it... AI and robots paired with continued growth in computational power... will change the world dramatically... and anyone who says there will be no unintended consequences... is lying.. On the bright side... on the day some 13 year old whiz kid hacks into all the robots and sets them on a task to destroy everything... the number of satellites in orbit will make sure we can track their progress in real time from anywhere on the planet. I have to stop watching that pirate serial... really... everything will work out fine... it always does... /s
