Chalk Barry Sonnenfeld, director of "Men In Black" and a couple of other films, as someone who doesn't get the internet.
He told National Association of Broadcasters attendees in Las Vegas that the internet is so hypnotic and pervasive that kids today are growing up with no sense of privacy.
"Because the Facebook generation is not concerned with what people know about them ... they will have no problem with additional governmental supervision, spying and intervention. They will be thrilled that the Internet will be able to follow their every move," he said.
"Totalitarianism is not far in our future, and the next generation will go down that road happily," he went on. "My only hope is the Bush administration has screwed things up so profoundly -- socially, economically and environmentally -- that perhaps they will be angered by how our generation has selfishly destroyed their future and will put down that computer."
Too bad Sonnenfeld isn't directing the next "X-Files" movie.
