we also have to face the negative aspects of this new technology. I don't
have problems with that.

What about Billy Idol's tribute to "Cyberpunk"? This scares me more -
a trend-following older rock-star who adapts for commercial reasons a
concept and aplyfies it by doing that.

I think I don't like the "Cyberpunk" idea for its destructiveness,
there should be another concept ...
