The context is the rise of China and how the connectedness of the internet unifies them and empowers their development; and how the West is being polarized and how some people are being unpersoned worse than what would have been possible in the early days of printing. A strange kind of progress. Racial conflict is always the motif playing in the background, and everyone knows it. That is the real context, one that should be evident in England next month with Brexit souring the mood.
The even worse news on the horizon is robots with four limbs that kill people, sorry to say, and how they will make their debut just as tanks did at the Somme in WW I. We still have tanks. This makes me think that what will be important is not confidentiality, nor authentication, etc., it will be first and foremost how to disconnect and zero-out one’s data threat and get away from technology without being blamed.
We might as well be frank and start talking about cyber-security in a world where robots kill people much more commonly than now (drones), and where conflicts have intensified, between states and between people.
