Viva La Revolution more like. Looking forward to the day I can chuck my 
old colleagues "£1 for a cup of tea" cos they were found out to know not 
very much about computers.

Now perhaps I am being a bit too Anarchist about this, but at the end of 
the day dangerous technologies do not necessarily mean BAD technologies. 
They do mean techs that have the power to overwhelm society. So I guess 
it depends on yoru viewpoint. At least I will not be up against the wall 
come the revolution :)
