firewalls: illusion or reality?

update to earlier thread . .

"it's so sophisticated it's hard to believe such things exist. . . . the
computer is completely vulnerable."

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3092737,00.html

even the rabbis have weighed in: "nor have we seen the worst. computerized
terror attacks and warfare are surely on the way."

the temptation so great, that even the bosses can't resist . . . . . .

so, the question becomes, is there a future for the internet and firewalls;
or is the computer destined for use only in physical isolation like a room
air conditioner?
