A Russian/Chinese border crossing was closed down stranding almost 2,000 Russians because the automated system had been compromised by a virus. When 2,000 people have to spend a night unable to cross a border because there is no back up to the automated system then we have already become slaves to our technology.
My first clue that we were slaves though came when I heard someone years ago say “I couldn’t live without my phone.” The revolution happened, we just were too busy staring at the flashing pictures on our internet devices to notice.
