If we keep heading down the path we're going, there's a decent chance the surveillance state from George Orwell's 1984 future will come true.

First borrowing a line from Spider-Man, Nadella said, "With great tech**logy comes great responsibility."
"I do believe it's up to us to ensure that some of the more dystopian scenarios don't come true," Nadella continued.
Okay, this is unexpected. Nadella saying it's "up to us" to make sure the dystopian views of tech won't come true #MSBuild (https://twitter.com/hashtag/MSBuild?src=hash)
