Let's have a game, what or when in history had so much negative side effects as today (mass networked) computing ?

I miss the peace of mind of buying a box with a CD and use it in my bedroom carelessly.

But beside me, landline phone, kitchen appliances, they were mostly zero worries (beside their own isolated quality).

Maybe car safety was a social struggle at one point. Maybe gas powered lightning was too ?
