Witches were burned at the stake, basic human reactions have not evolved since dark ages. So basic premise of somewhat trivialistic movie "Hackers" the one with Jonny Lee Miller holds right - rest of the world is sheep(and it will get worse as we migrate from general purpose computing to specialized devices). Most of the world is made up of unwashed masses that consider computing something that resembles magic - you only scare and confuse them talking all the smart things that they do not really understand or grasp.
I'll conjure up respected Arthur C. Clarke - Third law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Put scared people and magic together and you got bonfires going. This why hackers rot in jail for longer than murderous psychopaths.
But then again I was more of a black hat for most of my life than white.
