Possibly. By no means certainly, even if nothing changes. But we also have techie activists working to change things for the better, so even if the potential risk would prove to eventually be a real problem, like with the Y2K bug, the masses may have the problem averted through the efforts of others and never know what might have happened.

Maybe you're right. Thinking about it, I shouldn't be too surprised; many people nowadays are too uncaring (or stupid) to actually research what they are getting into when they start doing something.

I thinks it's more benign than that in this case. At the moment, the DRM walled gardens simply work as advertised, giving the value and features most people want. There is simply no need to look deeper, any more than there is a need for every driver to be an automotive engineer.
