Honestly, I'd rather not want that ability than risk a never-ending unescapable 1984 dystopia.

And if we're talking avoidance of technologies because of risk: historical scholars point to the message-consolidating effects of radio and television as a technology that enabled the rise of fascism in Europe between WWI and WWII (Orwell alludes directly to this with the hate rallies in front of Big Brother's TV image). Should we ban TV?
