Some people say stabbing someone with a knife is bad. Some people say you should ban all knifes, including your butter knife. Where do you draw the line?



Not a good analogy. Tech can be used for good or bad. Cheap processors are not the equivalent of stabbing someone.


Indeed they aren't. The "stabbing someone" equipment was this:

> a world where absolutely every object you encounter—bandages, bottles, bananas—will have some kind of smarts

Because there is little what those smarts could do for the user but a lot of ways how they could work against the user.
