The firs thing that comes to my mind is cyber terrorism. Sensitive information is often easily available to almost anyone on the internet. Malicious tools and software can be found and downloaded on the Internet by anyone. What's worse is that most malicious activities do not require extensive knowledge of information technology as they use to. Malicious programs are written in a fashion that allows the user to issue attacks in a non technical manner. There also those who have extensive knowledge of information systems that write their own programs and misuse them by causing damage to nations and corporations. Viruses, trojans, and other types of malware are created by these type of people with one common goal; To create chaos.

Do you chemistry and technology is the cause of most man's problem?
No, I did not know that.But seriously, most technology is just a tool, a tool that can be used properly or misused.Because some knowledge has been misused by some does not make that knowledge evil. Example: It is easy to say a hammer is not evil, it is just a tool. It is less easy to say a gun is not evil, because it has been misused frequently, but it actually is no less evil than a hammer; both can be misused to kill. People are being evil, not the tools. All of mankind's problems are the problems of mankind, not technology nor chemistry nor engineering nor knowledge.You cannot blame chemistry and technology for the cause of all our problems. We are our problem.
