Security in 10 years

A very interesting discussion between Schneier and Marcus Ranum on the future of Security.
Excerpt --
"But throughout history and into the future, the one constant is human nature. There hasn't been a new crime invented in millennia. Fraud, theft, impersonation and counterfeiting are perennial problems that have been around since the beginning of society. During the last 10 years, these crimes have migrated into cyberspace, and over the next 10, they will migrate into whatever computing, communications and commerce platforms we're using."

Both of them point out that Simplicity is the way to go and some of the current complex systems will lead us to disaster. An interesting piece which I read about simple and complex systems is from this site called betterexplained. one of my friends referred this site and I really enjoy this site. Lot of basic concepts on various subjects are explained in simple terms with apt examples.
