Comment Neelie (Kroes)

Making speeches talk

excerpt from: Internet security: everyone's responsibility

[...] And the more we become dependent on the Internet, the more we need it to be resilient and secure. Imagine a tool that could shut down electricity, derail trains, block communications, set homes on fire, disturb control and command.

Said 'tool' is human attached to a keyboard attached to a computer attached to an internet connection attached to an electricity network/train system/communications network/etc etc. Like a blade, a computer can be used to kill or save life.
