A trail of DNA and Data

I believe that Saffo would not approach that situation with a retaliation but instead he would simply say that he does not want to outlaw the technology, but instead create a way to make sure that it is not fraudulantly used. I for one believe that the technology sounds cool, but like Saffo i see the darker side of this type of technology. How can we trust society with High tech equipment, and better yet how can we expect these devices not to be the demise of us. Imagine all this technology allowing criminals a better chance to take your identy and steal your very life. Saffo just wants to give you the ability to sit back and wonder, instead of someone stealing your Social Security number, they could steal your entire life.

I agree with your summary of Saffo's essay. He just wants to make sure that the technology is not used fraudulantly. He only recognizes the dark side and disadvantages of this new technology and questions whether we can trust society with such high tech devices.
