Every ISP is being attacked maliciously both from in the United States and outside of the United States by those who want to invade people's privacy. But more importantly they want to take control of computers they want to hack them they want to steal information.

We're going to be able to ask our computers to monitor things for us and when certain conditions happen are triggered the computers will take certain actions and inform us after the fact.
