There is Good

I wish we lived in a world where we could keep the front door unlocked. Sometimes in my obsession with the vulnerabilities of technology I become so overwhelmed by paranoia and distrust that I forget computers can be a force for good. For every advance made in security, it seems as if attackers make two advances. However, we can't let ourselves be discouraged; people are using computers for good. Perhaps we should count the number of ways that computers bless our lives. Then, armed with a spirit of optimism, continue to harden defenses, improve transparency, and educate users. It's easy to lose faith, but let's have hope that good will prevail and computers will continue to make our world a better place.
