Computer security would be 100% solved if we just got rid of computers. It's impossible to break into something if it doesn't exist. I wonder why we haven't tried this strategy yet?



Abolishing a number of these technologies means that new technologies will be developed to do the same tasks, with similar (and probably some novel) new vulnerabilities.

Overall, I do feel like new technologies are being scrutinized more than in the past. Especially when those implementations were done in a corporate vacuum and released as a canned solution.
