After all, motorists must obtain licenses before they can legally hit the road, and computers are much more complicated. "It could be a four-year college degree, a one-month course. It might be a good idea," said Bruce Schneier, chief technology officer for Counterpane Internet Security Inc. Or it might be a bad idea. "The downside is everybody you know won't be able to have a computer anymore, and I like being able to send e-mail to friends," Schneier said.
