6. Wastage of money. (If no control is put into the use of online shopping then one shall go bankrupt sooner)
7. Less privacy. (with cloud computing. See what Richard Stallman said: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/sep/29/cloud.computing.richard.stallman)
8. More frauds (I hate the Nigerians)
9. Not reliable (one cannot trust the computer (electronic) systems. Some time they stop working at a critical moment, I gets screwed up like that. Its no way perfect.)
10. Electronic waste (polluting the mother earth with the electronic wastes)

What are the bad things of using computer aided manufacture?
You don't have the feeling of making it yourself.
"It is too expensive."
This isn't actually true. granted buying the software and training people to use it quite pricey. however when compared to actually having to design and build models to test. Using design software is a hell of a lot cheaper.
Say you had to design a new aircraft wing, its would be a lot cheaper to use a design software package and test it in a virtual environment, rather than having to build a dozen wings to see how far you can push them until they fail.
The main disadvantages of CAD software such as solidworks is, its too easy to design something that cant actually be built in real life due to material restrictions. For example, a colleague of mine was mucking around with it and as part of a project he had the wheels on his car composed of water.
