Yes technology has taken off so fast we cant keep up with it. The internet was never intended to be like it is, until windows came along.
This is a huge threat for our governments, including communist Countries.
They will put a ban on internet use. Maybe only for ebay, bill pay and online shopping. I think the Freedom part may soon be restricted.
Essentially, this is the framework within which every aspect of our lives will be managed and regulated by a gargantuan government bureaucracy designed to control and shape every aspect of our behavior through our dependence on technology.
This is what Nancy Pelosi was referring to when she visited China last week and let slip the fact that “Every aspect of our lives must be subject to inventory” in order to fight global warming.
Under the cybersecurity grid, our electricity consumption, our water consumption and every other basic utility that we rely upon will be subject to state regulation.....
.....This is just the beginning of the imposition of a suffocating prison planet whereby our every action will not only be recorded by big brother but also subject to government approval and control.
The Cybersecurity grid will also be an upgrade of the pervasive snoop network that has already been operating under NSA auspices for decades.

I'm interested to know how old you are and how savvy you are with computers, software code, and the interwebs?
Long story short, it only moving so fast we can't keep up with it if you are NOT keeping up to it. If something severe comes down the pike, the average Tom Dick and Harry will not be able to do much, but there are many of us who will be able to get around practically anything they put up.
The fact remains, that when government and young people collide with technology, the government has no hope to keep up with us, as is evidenced by folks in Iran right now.
Rockefeller made cybersecurity one of his key issues as a member of the Senate intelligence committee, which he chaired until last year. He now heads the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, which will take up this bill.
