By now we all should have realized that all but a tiny fraction of people is illiterate about computers, the internet and their possibilities and dangers.

  Let me piggyback on my own comment. Because there are only so few people who have factually so much power, I urge every hacker, everybody who understands the digital world, to act in the best faith of everybody. This technological revolution is too important to serve only a few. Luckily, many hackers do the right thing and don't do everything they could to maximize their immediate benefit. I sincerely hope for humanity, for the people of poor countries, for people suffering from corrupted governments, for people who weren't as fortunate as we were, that we provide them with the technology they need. But we must not maintain control over it to have control over them. Free and just software and hardware must prevail.
