We are THERE. Up until this point, computers were a tool, an option, an extension to existing capabilities. But now we have arrived, and they are a critical part of the infrastructure which society depends upon to operate. That means hackers, once a playful nuisance, are now a direct threat to human rights and human survival. Its up to the big players, Apple, Microsoft, and Google, with the cooperation of state and federal government, to lay down a framework to protect human rights, in the context of a world that increasingly depends on computers to survive. It's not a game anymore.
