I've just experienced a real-life application of this, in a way. I work for the Highline school district in the state of Washington, and our computer network was in some way compromised last weekend. The result was that the district cancelled school for three straight days. It boggled my mind a bit that because our computers were now unreliable, we couldn't guarantee student safety somehow. We're finally going to be allowed back on campus tomorrow -- not using district computers or internet connections, taking attendance on paper, etc. I feel we could have been doing that all week, which makes me think there's more going on than we've been told. But if not -- if school got cancelled because the internet was compromised -- we seem very trapped by technology indeed.
Coincidentally, we had a power outage in town on Monday. So I've been thinking about Burke's points nonstop.
