I work in tech, but I don't want to be so connected that my car can get a virus. There is such a thing as too much.

Aye, I agree. But 'too much' is going to happen. I hope I don't live to see a day when a standard human vaccination that gets injected into my arm (or my child's) contains computer anti-viral agents.
