Not to disagree Al, but that arguement could be used against almost all technological improvements in communications. Gutenberg's printing press made information (beneficial or harmful) more easily distributed; radio signals have been used for saving lives during disasters and also as triggering mechanisms for weapons; the internet provides an encyclopedic database of knowledge, but also provides a means for whackos like Heaven's Gate to recruit and influence others.

Technology has always been a double-edged sword.
