“Just like that, everything is turning into a computer….Your
phone is a computer that makes calls. Your car is a computer with wheels and an
engine. Your oven is a computer that bakes lasagnas. Your camera is a computer
that takes pictures. Even our pets and livestock are now regularly chipped; my
cat is practically a computer that sleeps in the sun all day.”— American
cryptographer, computer security professional, and privacy specialist Bruce
Schneier,
Data and Goliath: The Hidden Battles to Collect Your Data and ControlYour World (2015)
What’s your cat’s name, Bruce? HAL?
