Inundated:

I find it hypocritical that there is such a plethora of technophobic propaganda screed floating around online when the Internet itself, a method to electronically communicate and exchange images, text, expressions, moving picture, etc. with one another in an not altogether tangible manner to the average consumer (something we take faith in that it works without being overly concerned about knowing every fine nut and bolt to how it works, much like television or the radio), is also a type of advanced technology.  Why aren't these same people as terrified of how ubiquitous the Internet has become in our lives?  It too is a type of technology not wholly understood by the majority of people who use it. Smirk.

Hey, guess what? The Internet does not exist in nature... and is the product of mankind's engineering.  It is something we've collectively assembled through harnessing brainpower and the fruit of computer scientists' efforts.

So why so much more commotion about nanobots, cloning and genetic modifying of food, etc.?
Hmm?!


Antiscience bothers me.
The majority of "abuse of science" people like to point to examples of that are historical for their soapboxing though involves governments.
About the most screwed up experiments I can think of that academics participated in are some of the behavioral science psychology studies conducted in the 1930s-60s before the development of human and animal ethics reviewing and standards, but other than that... Well, I've got nothing.

Just remember, scientists are people too.  We aren't all... like some sort of horrifying machine trying to suck people's brains and life forces out.    You're thinking of zombies and vampires.
