...that is incredibly terrifying. Especially when we still are forcing people to register before giving them basic services and information.

It is a little, and if raises several ethical and moral questions we still have to find good answers to.

However looking at it from a purely technological viewpoint the improvement we should see to quality of life should be incredible too. It's about trying to find a good balance and way of integrating the new technology into society.

Depends. Science in general is neutral - it's what humans do with discoveries that make them good or evil.

World War 1 saw a great deal of advancement in medical science but I would think most people would have preferred a slower curve of discovery to the vast amount of lives that were lost.

Computers are only as good or evil as we make them. Fear as a response is understandable and inevitable but I think it may also be the wrong approach.

If we great new life with violence I think we are doomed to make of it the enemy we most fear.
