What are your greatest fears about the Internet?

Question

These can be real or imagined. Think future!

Answer 1

My greatest fear is that the combination of Moore's Law and the internet will facilitate artifical intelligence that far surpasses collective human intelligence. Then, the machines will have evolved beyond people and will seek to destroy us.

Answer 2

The greatest fear would be identity theft, but I just pray for all of those people starting internet relationships and walking away from marraiges based upon the words of another and never having experienced any of those words. Lives have been and still will be destroyed over someone trying to be something they are not.

Answer 3

That all my pictures, conversations and sites that i have viewed on the net will be viewable next to all my other details on the governments database. Well im pretty sure they are checking up on me already.

Answer 4

Someone being able to locate me, so they can kidnap me, throw me in well in a dark basement while some lunatic tells me to "put lotion on it's skin or it get the hose again."

Answer 5

that I might get close to someone through the Internet, while I really don't know who is behind the other computer - maybe it is a rapist/murderer or just a maniac.

Answer 6

No real fears for me. I just don't want to get hacked! :)

Answer 7

Answer 8

friendly but not safe in bad hands

Answer 9

identity theft
