> That's a bit scary, but I don't think that technology will be allowed to get that far.

Could you elaborate on that? I must say I disagree one hundred percent. There is no forseeable limit on technology and I don't think there can be. Certainly people may not always like new technology, but they are forced to adapt to it. The internet will become a bigger part of our lives because there are all sorts of useful applications for it. Will this be without drawbacks? Of course not; there is usually some sort of price paid for progress. But we will deal with it just as we have in the past. You can't stop technology because technology isn't a tangible thing -- as long as people are people we will constantly be looking for ways to do things that we believe will improve our situation. The direct result of this is an unending stream of new ideas and things, like it or not.
