This is a well-written, powerful article. I don't think anyone's debunked
Schwartau before and if so, not as well as this. I particularly liked the
last paragraph:
"It's not that hackers present no real danger. In fact, we need a sober
analyst of Internet reality, someone who can identify who is doing real
damage and how that damage can legitimately be monitored and contained. But
Schwartau, peddling his Cybershock warning of a virtual doomsday, is just
another hysterical infowarrior playing to our primal burrowing instincts. "
If only there were more tech-savvy old-school Pulitzer-worthy print
journalists who can write like Lew can. He goes out of his way to make sure
he understands everything about a topic before he deems an article complete.
Bravo.
