Careful. Watch out. Don't trust it. It's dangerous, it's BAD.
100 years ago, we were speaking of cars of course.
Today, they mean the Internet.
Between 1905-1910 and 2005-2010 there is this big struggle over the new technology.
This week's examples:
* We are still getting lots of press stories about how parents are limiting their children's time on the Internet, or trying to. We have no data that the Internet is bad for kids, of course.
* The U.S. federal government announced this week that it wants colleges and universities to spend billions creating new safe Internet connections so the government can spy on the bad guys.

He said the onerous financial burden for colleges for different network connections was "overkill."
