One reason these ideas exist is because history shows that such
technologies almost always have been abused, so there is nothing
unreasonable about assuming they will be in the future.

I'm one of those kids who paid attention to my elders growing up, and I
remember them warning all of the younger adults about almost everything
that currently plagues us today, and I remember everyone thinking they
were paranoid and ignorant.
