My thoughts are that if all you had to do is look at stuff and say "Gee, that's very very complicated. We should never have invented it" and make said stuff go away, half the universe would have vanished during George W. Bush's presidency.

Not sure this qualifies under lies or fear/dark, but if I had a *facepalm channel, It would definitely be there.

the internet is the most important human invention since penicillin or electricity
what we have now and for ten years from now are just baby steps
in ten to twenty years we will have a form of combined worldwide human consciousness
stuff like iran-twitter and 'the anonymous' and the unstoppable piracy are just the first signs of this
even if his points were valid, which they aren't, what is the value of a really minor annoyance to one country next to the evolution of the human mind?

keeping people ignorant has been the #1 tool against the people of all countries since the beginning of history. Leave it to a Rockefeller to bring this shit up.

We are Borg. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

These dangerous idiots seem to have a war-centric view of human history. They don't care that we used to be illiterate, starving, and living in the mud, and that now we have access to unimaginable sums of knowledge from our centrally-heated living rooms. Their only concern about human invention is how it relates to the mutually-destructive struggle between nations.

* I bet 299.5 million of those 300 million daily attacks on the pentagon are teenagers trying to guess FTP passwords or some such thing.

* Who knew West Virginia was such a hotspot for internet crimes

* I think this guy's in over his head in understanding computer security but to be fair he did just quote the president and ask someone else for an opinion.

Hello? The man says himself saying the internet should never have been invented is stupid. He's just making a point about how concerned he is about the security implications of how important the internet is nowadays as a preamble to his question on what, if anything, should be done to increase security. Sure, he does it in a befuddled, long-winded way, but he's definitely not seriously saying he thinks it shouldn't have been invented.
