“I’m sending you this e-mail from 2021–40 years after
IBM released its first personal computer–in a last attempt to
prevent the mistakes in computer development that put civilization
in jeopardy.”“…The problem is, because everything runs the same operating
system–even my electric shaver–once somebody discovers a security
flaw, it can bring down our computers. All the computers. All over
the world.”“In some places, the power is on for only a couple of hours a
day now.”
