- Go to The terrible and increasing risks of interconnectedness…
I read your first part of this post yesterday and then I got sidetracked and never did get back to Blogit. So, I just now read the part you quoted from somewhere else. It reads like some New York Times bestselling novel. Surely all that stuff is just made up. How can our world be so crazy?

I have often wondered what will be the technology, if technology it be, that will make the internet and interconnectedness as we know it, obsolete.

That is a great point about connecting everything to the Internet. I wish we could go back a little bit in terms of how present the Internet is in our lives.

I'm wondering - with everybody online and distracted from what's going on in their lives - driving, eating, face-to-face conversations, walking in a park, if the world might not be just as well off if the internet did blink off. It would be inconvenient as hell, but it's not as though 99.9% of our history, humans got along without it.

I believe it is Trump who will take care of things for us all and get us canadians all all the other alies to pay for it all...but that's Ok we will be safe from an Orwellian World.
The interconnection we have around the World at this point, for me personally, is a great gift. However there are a lot of scary no make that terrifying things that smart people can do...I bet I will never know a fraction of what is possible.

Everything grows tighter, it will all come to a point where that will be it. What happens then will be history one day. Not much of a prediction I know.
