Exactly. I hold every bet that the Chinese know this and for that reason it is that they have boosted their efforts in cyberwarfare so tremendously in the past 2 or 3 years. But I would not bet that the US has the upper hand in that field anymore.

And satellites - as long as there are no Star Trek style deflector shields, dpending on a network of satellites would not let me find sleep.

This kind of technology is comfortable. I think it is worth to contemplate about this single sentence a bit.
