Don't forget all the unauthorized spying and data collection they do on all of us. And every idiot that feels they need to tweet every bit of every day.

I've been reading "The Odyssey File", a 1984 book of electronic mail correspondence between Arthur C. Clarke and Peter Hyams during the making of "2010", the first collaboration of its kind. Clarke speculated about databases and the potential of worldwide communication, and it's amazing to think of how far the technology has come in only thirty years ...

... but then I remember that most people use it every day to download pictures of Kim Kardashian's naked butt. Then I breathe a heavy sigh of despair and go back to reading Clarke.

I think I like the old future better.
