I immediately saw the direction everything was going right after 9/11. I used to consider myself a technophile but I tell people now the greatest weapon of mass destruction used again the common man now is the computer. Prior to the computer if the government wanted to spy on you they had to pretty much send someone out to your house, not so much now. Ever since the mid 80s I've built my own computers but I am under no delusion that there aren't back doors in everything now.
