“I prefer guidelines than diktats, and I take my own decisions,” Harry tosses the booklet on the side table.
“Diktats are needed when your decisions impact other lives. We live in a networked world and can never be totally free.”
This appears to have hit the target.
“Do you mean to say Siri and Google are not always right, for all at the same time, and for the larger good?”
“No, and values are what you need to get right, before augmented and virtual reality makes you unaware of what’s happening around you, in the real world that you live.”
Creative Experiments and More 
Sad that we are becoming people who don’t think for ourselves, relying on virtual reality without thought or discussion.

One can create a virtual world, while the real world runs on the diktat of an unknown God. I guess the sense of power a virtual world gives drives the whole game.

Now, apply this to the world/internet
