Do you ever get the feeling that at some point we're just going to discover that the internet is just too dangerous and we have to take it off line?

Like this is really the skynet of the terminator. Or at the very least we're going to have to isolate things from the broader internet (like nuclear reactors). We all rely so heavily on the internet, but it just feels more and more like something that is putting us more and more at risk.

I don't think we'll ever scale down our use or dependency (some cyber war depending). I think we'll simply see an escalating series of security...

There's a ton of infrastructure on the internet that has ZERO business being there. Power grids, for example.
