Lets not kid ourselves this technology is there to protect the interests and control that the rich have over the poor. This technology is not meant for the greater good of all of humanity its for a small select group of wealthy elite families. Now those families might very well be tied to big business or big governments who bow down to there bidding. As well its just to easy to abuse this kind of technology in ones favor.
