This is not about hackers who might steal your credit card number as it passes over the overcrowded connections on the Web, nor about your stumbling over a false virus alert on your favorite newsgroup, or even about a wily hacker penetrating your system and reading the E-mail you've saved. Instead it's about cookies, electronic product registration privacy invasion, the new push technology that will clog your electronic mailbox, user-friendly updates of programs and drivers and denial-of-service, and other technological goodies.
