Governments are scared of software.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fear is the foundation of most governments.
Corporations have been killing the risk-taking and exploration that makes software great. They have tried to rip the soul out of development.
I want to see us remain convinced that software matters in the future.
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.
Governments sometimes turn paranoid. And they fear things. And sometimes the thing they fear the most is the populace.
It's more than unsettling to realize there are large companies out there developing backdoors, exploits and trojans.
Should we fear hackers? Intention is at the heart of this discussion.
Change creates fear, and technology creates change. Sadly, most people don't behave very well when they are afraid.
People are afraid of an unorganized, wasteful government.
In short, software is eating the world.
