I've been a self confessed gadget geek since I took my first computer apart a few decades ago, but I have never been so dazzled by technology as I am right this very second.The mere fact that an average citizen can harness this much technology without much more than a decent paycheck leads me to believe none of this will end well. It's like giving the keys of a Bugatti Veyron to a 17 year old.  Some will cut loose when it's safe and prudent to do so, but most will end up doing serious harm to themselves and/or others in the pursuit of the adrenaline rush.</blockquote>
