Funny, I thought about that just today : I once knew a world without IT
security. I was a child, 8 or 10 and my school had a late 70's CIE
MITRA15 mainframe, complete with the white blouse operator and the
punch-card reader, and an array of "consoles" in another room. You had
to fill the blanks in a Bob Dylan song (man gave name to all the
animals, in the beginning...) that was big on the radio at that time.
Yes, I'm that old, don't tell my fans :D Come to think of it, even at
that times, there must have been pirates. There are always pirates.
Still, how fantastic is a world where *you* simply *don't have to lock
the door*?
