Online And Scared

"And what was this tipping point?

It was the moment when we realized that a critical mass of our lives and work had shifted away from the terrestrial world to a realm known as 'cyberspace.' That is to say, a critical mass of our interactions had moved to a realm where we’re all connected but no one’s in charge.

After all, there are no stoplights in cyberspace, no police officers walking the beat, no courts, no judges, no God who smites evil and rewards good, and certainly no '1-800-Call-If-Putin-Hacks-Your-Election.' "

--"Online and Scared," by Thomas Friedman, the New York Times
