All of the can happen except the CDs part. I am sure that didn't happen. But yeah, if you get a virus on your computer, or you open something you shouldn't (like an unfamiliar webpage), the person that sent it to you can control your computer. But, it depends on what virus it is. There are all kinds out there. Some that can even get into your bank accounts! Be VERY careful!!!

Yes, that's pretty much what would happen. There are ways to protect technology from these things but basically with something of that magnitude much of the more sensitive technology would be isolated. Also, it's just part of life that these things happen and cause damage from time to time.\n\nIt takes longer than 8 minutes to get to Earth, by the way, so we can predict them by watching the Sun. That allows precaustionary measures to be taken. If it was 8 minutes as you suggested, then how would we know to start switching things off anyway? Generally we have a day or so advance warning.

Yes, I can truly say that technology made us (at least the majority of us) live better, cleaner and in improving conditions of life, greater lifespan and have a better entertaining time.  \nNevertheless  the technology was always put in front of every thing stepping on what Nature gave us and stepped even on the Nature itself. Only when was absolutely obvious that the destruction of the environment is endangering the very essence of our lives, life that technology tries to improve entering in this way into a paradox. \nIn essence technology actually helps even to remedy the mistakes made in the past with  the same technology that made the destruction of the Nature, and....so on. \n\nIs a continuous loop I believe which should never stop, because if the progress stops, the problems remained unsolved, will increase, and if the destruction will continue...will not be for a long time, and even the human kind will perish, under the phrase "Technology makes your every day life better".\n\nAnd that's not all I have to say\nDfriend:)

Well I looked over the search engines for you. I could not find any articles. I will continue to try though and if i find any i will update my answer with them.\nBut in my opinion...YES. Just think of it...if all technology shut down for a day...Jobs would disappear. The government would flip out with no way to communicate or monitor things. Stock markets would crash. Terrorism would no doubt explode. People would just flip out. Businesses would just flop. Almost EVERYTHING WE DO EVERY DAY IS SOMEHOW CONNECTED TO TECHNOLOGY. So yes, i would definitely say that people rely way too much upon it.

Read the answer from "Bubbles". The person he speaks of is me, and yes he thought I was a hacker, but I was genuinely trying to help him out with his laptop.\n\nDespite his initial weariness, he gave me the benefit of the doubt, and we now communicate on a regular basis - he showed me this question you submitted and thought maybe it was me asking under a different name!\n\nSo yes, we met and we share a birthday. We get on very well; he has become a good friend. \nBubbles, if you are reading... Hello mate :)

The irony of this question and the responses that most surely follow (Not me...not happening...) is the scariest thing since the first "Nightmare on Elm Street". \n\nThere is much to be gained by having such a device placed within you as long as it is undetectable. If used properly, this device could relay medical complications before they actually develop symptoms, or just be used to identify you in place of a lost too often identification card. If this sort of system was imposed, then the problem with identity theft could be erased, and ultimately end up saving the average consumer immensive amounts of money by the fact that identity theft bullets would not have to be bitten on by businesses. \n\nI understand where the true resistors to this sort of revolution are coming from. The idea of "Big Brother" having you tagged with a microchip is a scary concept. I figure that the same way that it could trasmit small electrical signals to be deciphered by other environmental receptors for your benefit, it could be used in reverse so that you can be controlled via small electrical pulses at the brain's frequencies...\n\nI assure you, however, my friends that you should not be scared of the government having some master plan with monitoring you or controlling you... They already have been for a great amount of time. \n\nHow? Your wonderful social security number is your bar code and public media (music, t.v.) has been subliminally controlling you for decades! Is it no wonder that radical music ends up in one of two ways: commercialized and dumbed down or under-funded and hardly distributed...? Look at rap music from the nineties and from the present...How about rock...? \n\nHmmm...\n\nThat's food for thought...\n\nHope that helps...

YES the internet can be that bad!\n\nThat's why I never allow my child to go online unsupervised.\n\nI also know a 13 year old that in six months of being online unsupervised thinks she is a goth vampire, had her lip pierced and wants to kill her mom. She had smaller issues before this, but most recently hopsitalized explained that she just copied other people she thought were cool. \n\nI've met a guy online, became friends online, and he started stalking me! Sending me gifts and flowers and all that at work, trying to get me to move in with him. It was partially my fault because my relationship was having problems and he was easy to talk to, but it went way overboard. He even called the hospital when my daughter was admitted to ask how she was doing - while we were in the emergency room - after calling work to ask where I was.\n\nOur local news is always busting someone adult guy for trying to meet up with a teenager through online.\n\nScary stuff.\n\nTrust me, it CAN be that dangerous. \n\nBut also remember, it can be a great learning tool and great for information, science projects etc.

New Technology is Great as well as Bad.\n\nWhen it comes to great, you can perform complex things very easily. There are entertainment and other stuff that can be easily achieved by the use of new emerging technologies.\n\nWhen it comes to the bad side, you get several privacy issues where a legitimate user is blackmailed by an ethical hacker and blackmailed. There are also crimes that start through technology. (e.g. Chatting).\n\nSo, it is us, who have to prioritize the technology according to our needs and gain the maximum benefit.\n\nBYE

well ppl should be careful while chatting on net. I mean you never know how the person is. I am not scaring you but I have come across many cases where girls have been abondoned and some have also got pregnant. I am not saying that it can happen to you but you should still be careful. Just introspect and analyze where this thing is going? Is it safe? Will my parents be happy with whatever I am doing? After all your life is a part of others'.

Yes. Have fun with the explanation - it is not for the technophobic.

Very dangerous. But does seem to work for some people. My brother met and married a girl from the web site hotornot. However, I have to stress to be very careful. Alot of freaks out there. Be sure to do your research.

Studies are indicating that the microwave radiation from cell phones  influences brain functioning and development. This occurs when they're in stand-by mode as well. It's all the more important for kids who are still growing of course. Safety levels are always measured for healthy adult men. Children's bodies are so much smaller that these 'limits' don't protect them.\n\nIf it turns out that these studies are wrong, so be it. If they're right, well, we don't know HOW bad the consequences could be.\n\nBeyond that, there's the distraction factor, risk of theft and yet another consumerist gadget which lets kids value each other's worth, and their own, in how cool their 'toys' are.
