Technology is getting away from us!

Did you know that you can start a car from afar (think a "state away", for example)?  Of course the car has  to be equipped with a special "chip."   And the new cars probably will have that chip.  So, how fast do you think "car-jackers" are going to become car "hackers?"  Just think, no more broken windows, no more jimmied ignitions, no more shouting "get out of the car" at gun point (since they won't have to wait for the owner to open the car with his/her key.)  This must be nirvana to car thieves.

As fast as we invent something new, different, interesting, there's someone out there trying to defuse the glory, and take advantage of the situation.   Which of course creates jobs for people who are paid to figure out where the defusers will come from.    Which of course causes the defusers to work harder.  Which of course...well, you get the idea.

I think I'll keep driving my technology-challenged cars on Day 175!
