  A glance at the November 13 issue of "New York" magazine:


  Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's
  vaunted Media Laboratory are dangerously dismissive of issues
  other than the technical "how to" of human-computer
  interaction, writes David Bennahum. The researchers, he writes,
  ignore potential consequences of their work and never seriously
  discuss two problems created by the "information revolution":
  people's loss of privacy and loss of control over their lives.
  "Hacking is about taking a system apart and rebuilding it to

  are higher," he writes, in an issue also featuring two stories
  on cyber-age New York.
