And the guys who make Skyrim etc don't really have to be extra vigilant in stopping this, as there's no multiplayer component to those games. When you use a glitch or exploit in Skyrim, the only person 'harmed' by this is you. In WoW, botters can ruin a server economy for people who are trying to earn gold through legitimate means.
What is really a problem, and possibly what the Parent is on about, is that a game that's vulnerable to advantage gained through a bot, is a flawed game. The game should not be made in such a way that any repetitive task that can be automated which give you a benefit.
You have the illusion of choice with GM. They have Car X. You can then get a version without alloys, or without sunroof or without AC or without A, B, C. It is advertised to you as a base model Plus extras. When you judge Tesla, you should compare it to a similarly priced GM car, as there's a good possibility that you would be comparing it with one containing all the extras.
The industrial revolution was an attempt to reduce the number of people required to perform or work directly with what was being manufactured, same as the agricultural revolution. Gartner's premise starts out on unsound ground.
The digital revolution, if its intention is truely to reduce the work force, will, like all other revolutions before it, just shuffle the workforce around, and that is the unrest you mention. You suddenly have excess factory workers (or farmers) but it will settle down again in a generation (or sooner with cross/re-training) as new roles are identified which come about by the new revolution.
The Agricultural revolution fed the industrial, as machinery was required to bolster farming, the industrial revolution fed an engineering and technical revolution as people were needed to design and maintain new machinery, the tech revolution is feeding the 'digital' revolution as we need AutoCAD and complex simulation equipment to devise this technology.
What will the next revolution be, what does this digital revolution need that it isn't getting right now?
So yes, every revolution is about reducing the number of people required to do a certain task, but what it is really doing is providing a greater pool of available bodies to work on the next revolution.
They already have achievements in games like Mark of the Ninja, Deus Ex and others I can't think of off-hand, where you get achievements for stealth completes or just not killing anyone other than the assigned targets. Slap in a few "Red Cross" achievements for completing missions by the book and there you go.
I'm not a major expert, but I don't see why there would be a problem simulating a ctrl-alt-del input, when it's the computer's reaction to said input that's key. You cannot spoof how a computer will react to ctrl-alt-del, unless you have compromised the kernel already.
Here in the UK and Ireland, where we have a somewhat competitive market for mobile data, it is still possible to get unlimited data. My provider (three) does this.
Yes some tribal people chase down food animals for hours.
What you miss from this sentence is "a team". It would have taken a coordinated effort from several people to tire out an animal. Early human would have been pack hunters, and would run their prey around in a loop, taking turns to tire it out. It is very unlikely that one person would tire out one animal.

Something is killing these authors before their time, 2 science fiction authors and one spy thriller. What did they know that needed to be kept silent?
Iain Died at 53, Ann at 63, Tom is 33*2. This repeating pattern of 3's means they must have known about the release of HL3 and died to keep it secret.

They already do this. The front row and the overwing exits can be reserved for an additional fee.

Please explain the risk of seasonal vaccines.
They have nothing to fear if they have done nothing wrong.

Just you wait, you get all that and tentacles!

Camera makers hate her. Find out why she takes such great photos with one crazy tech!
What, my eyes? My memory? Whoa, that's deep dude.
I suggest The Langoliers, the irony would be sweet, but I fear the book isn't really big enough to kill anyone..
For now. Anyone who lives on a street with a Prius knows that your assumption is subject to change.

And then it'll come the time for technology to outgrow even that last remaining bastion of biological-over-technological superiority too.
Cockroaches?
I know what you mean by reasoning with it. I once brought my horse to some water, and by gum no argument I could devise would make it drink.
Yeah, even the latest iPhone has been stolen and manufactured in China!
