It's a startling yet not totally unexpected development to discover the possibility of a totally different form of tyranny. With our almost all out total dependency on technology comes the logical result: a supercomputer which is capable of performing a coups-de-etat on any government. If it were possible for someone to hijack a gov't's computer/defense system, the countries defensive abilities would be vastly compromised. Here's an article which details not just a potential vulnerability in cyber defense, but a potential ransacking of all classified material and information:

“A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police State Dictatorship it's going to get.”
I suppose it necessary for a society which lies to itself and believes that it can thrive outside the natural order of things must at some time experience it's demise. It's appendages and extensions resulting from an unnatural reliance on technological infrastructure will lend to an imbalance that can only be righted by starting all over. The necessary dissassemblage cannot be performed soon enough to stop the inevitable collapse resulting from the momentum built from decades of slavishly following a false paradigm.
