I've been thinking over the past couple days, With the world so dependant on Computers and technology. Should the time come when a Computer Virus takes over human operations. And infects all the computer systems. Does anyone think this could actually take place?
Well, it already does happen, with Trojans and others, but to that extent would require much more time.
It would be accelerated with "smart" and "autonomous" technology from robot to other applications as well.
The constantly aging "old" population, marks as a way where things can go terribly wrong.
All information is all digitize. After that, there is no such thing as "safe" information, with or without claims for security.
It is always possible, but what is different is the magnitude in which it effects everything involved. Hacker or other tech people can end up having evolving programs that can affect the world from national security to the most minor task.
By having becoming so interconnected, when the flaws are tremendous, then it can cause problems as with the blackout from the east coast/ Canada region.
That showed a example of what can happen or it would be even worse than what people may imagine. When technology is everything, anything can be done with viruses or other programs, which ends up having absolute control over people, with the over-reliance on technology.
