Seeing T1 back in the 80's, I had almost a religious revelation. The 
recursive storyline was already stunning, but the bit about Skynet 
reaching consciousness and then starting to learn at an exponential 
rate, just blew my socks off. And I saw it in 1984, Orwell's year.

Our university got hooked up to the Internet in 1989, some five years 
later we got the WWW, things like CORBA, Yahoo, Google, Wikipedia, 
computer worms, malware, crackers, junk mail, DoS attacks, cell phones, 
blue-tooth viruses, ... I keep getting these /deja vu/s over and over again!

If somebody told me Dan Brown's Digital Fortress has happened for real, 
I'd hardly raise an eyebrow.

The times, they sure ain't gettin' boring.

Heh, and there's no telling if the Internet actually will take down our 
civilization some day! And if somebody says they can't think of any way 
it could, I'd have to say that's the very point here, right?
