  1. not going to lie. with the way that governments have been overreaching lately and ignoring constitutional rights and laws that protect people's privacy, i am scared of the misuse of this technology. i look forward to how this can help humanity, but i fear how this can be used to strip the autonomy from humanity. technology is a double edged sword. the unibomber noted that technology is used to create prisoners of citizens, to make slaves of free men. but at the same time we can see how technology improves the lives of those it aids. i am hopeful for humanity, i fear for humanity. fear and hope, bound together in the apprehension of how people will choose to use this.
