I was reading an article regarding such high increases in airport security that they are now man handling peoples laptop computers, MP3 players, and other electronic devices in search of potential bomb threats. The thing that stuck out most to me in this article was a quote from a friendly nerd named Robert Ferrell who said that “Most of us regard our computers as equivalent to members of the family, and some have even stronger feelings,” said computer security researcher Robert Ferrell. “I guarantee you that anyone who messes with my laptop without my express permission is in for a world of hurt.” Now that made me think whatever happened to furbies? Didnt they used to have the monopoly in the electronic family member business?
