When I was growing up I was in no way a geek. It wasn't until in my mid 20's that I became more "studious". And then it wasn't until my mid 30's that I could be what would rightly be termed a computer geek. I love being on the computer for 8 hours at work and then going home and working on it all evening. I love pouring over code trying to figure out what the problem is. I'm a computer geek and proud of it.
What about the adults using the internet at the library? Don't they have the right to access all sites at the library. Or are they barred from certain sites because they don't have access at home.
Satellite images can be used for good or evil. Like for scientific research and information. We need info on the climate and what man is doing to the planets ecology. Also it is good for knowing when governments are commiting atrocities. On the bad side terrorists or governments who want to do us harm can use the images to fight our troops or for terrorist attacks. While there needs to be freedom of information, there also needs to be some way to limit access to the images in some situations.
Maybe someone should purchase some pictures of Bill Gates at his big fine house. Or maybe he could be caught outside making a deal to take away some user rights.

I suppose you've never heard of the constitution. You can't vote away peoples rights.
