But the one that comes to mind is the fact that just about every technology today can be "hacked" for lack of a better word. It would take a crazy level of technology just so the thing doesn't have a chance of turning on you by failure or malfunction. Chips? totally obsolete. Eye scan, nano carbon sensors, chemical analysis of the skin or heart beat.... it's all a great dream but it is way beyond practicality.
