I used to program computers a lot and still do sometimes especially in HTML. The problem is that people create the programs and we have certain ways we think as we program. For example, most people who program computers are the right age to have children and often might have children at home so are used to training these children. So, it is a part of their thinking as they write programs for computers (in any language). Then this transfers in various ways sort of the way people train their dogs and children in Pavlovian ways.
There are at least two types of people: "Masters and slaves" (I'm speaking of basic ways of thinking among human beings. Since people highly educated tend to think more (like programmers) as being masters from their point of view at least, this means that the programs (as their children) take after their masters as becoming "master programs" in any language too.
We are all slaves in a sense as we are children receiving the conditioning necessary to survive in society without killing ourselves or others at each and every point. So, learning to become a "Master" in some ways is an arduous task to successfully do this in society anywhere on earth.
But, Computer programs don't have ANY emotions about whatever they do, they just do it sort of like an animal does whatever it does to survive. So, imagine like you have an Alpha computer program that is a shutz Hund (German Shepard) that can learn to be a master of any human or group of humans to a greater or lesser degree. Then most humans might be Prey of that German Shepard type of program. This might be the best way to understand this.
So, what I'm saying is computer programs in themselves are not either good or bad but usually always both.
It's sort of like meeting a bear in the wilderness. Is it your friend or will it eat you?
IF its a Grizzly program it might eat you.
If it's a deer program it might not.
If it's a rabbit program it might hop around and procreate.
So, just like animals I think that computer programs should be seen a lot like wild animals in the end.
So, if you are not cautious of all computer programs and what they do one day a Grizzly program might eat you and you might be gone forever as a human on earth. It's important to realize that computer programs are not your friends. At best they are like wild animals in various ways and unless you know which animal you are dealing with in that computer program or series of programs then you are a naive child and in danger whether you know it or not.
