I'll tell you what technology can't do, at least right now. It can't stop a carload of juveniles from throwing a lemon at me while I'm out trying to get a breath of fresh air.
I hear the newsies making reports about a possible public fear of retaliation by terrorists for today's actions. This seems to be unlikely given the mode of operation of terrorists. They seem to operate on systems of society by examining weaknesses and exploiting those weaknesses for maximum damage. Because this process takes a long time, I don't see how they could spontaneously react unless they are carrying out some previously designed plan. I would expect a retaliation at some later date, when our attention to this subject has been diverted for whatever reason.
So many questions to be answered and story lines to be followed, the sequel has a good probability of being just as interesting as the first. Now that the gang has figured out how to infiltrate the AI machine complex, how will they "show these people what you don't want them to see" ? Similarly, how will we show the oppressed people of Afghanistan what the Taliban doesn't want them to see?
