Sure, you can DDOS someone, that's generally only if you have a botnet or whatever you want to use.

uh, yeah. If someone's a criminal it's pretty helpful. In most cases, someone has done something illegal. Or it was a mistake and they're generally released because it's the internet and it's not hard to find stuff if you know how.

how often do you actually hear about this. These schemes to steal money are usually really obvious to see, or they're absolutely brilliant and the person almost deserves the money for that brilliance.

more people die everyday from other things, the amount of people who commit suicide or something from the internet is like, negligible almost when you look at the big picture.

not true, media outlets will inform you if obama was assassinated, not to cause panic, but to inform people. People just over-react to something that isn't attached to them and that causes wide-spread panic.
People actually once believed that autism was caused by vaccines because some idiot celebrities don't know how to read and used a paper that was later revoked that was published by a man who had his doctorate taken away.

oh no, someone is lying on the internet about who they are.
Most of these are extreme situations, and they don't even relate to being dependent on computers so I don't understand the relevance this has to the conversation.
like what point were you trying to make
