[QUOTE="509322, post: 702835"] Until security is as simple, reliable and usable as a wind-up alarm clock for Average Joe, it just is never going to work for Average Joe. Technologically, it just isn't possible. Well, I take that back. It is technologically possible if people are willing to pay for it, but people aren't willing to pay for just about anything. Almost everybody in the consumer market wants free or virtually free. There is no substitute for user knowledge and experience. However, nobody is going to teach Average Joe and even if they did Average Joe probably isn't interested nor inclined to prioritize security. Profound change requires catastrophe on a monumental, vast scale in society and in the IT sphere that generally requires huge monetary loss - and that means the theft of billions upon billions of dollars. When Average Joe and the policy makers wake up to find all their money gone, then maybe they will all start to take notice and reprioritize what is important. I highly doubt it, but perhaps. It's a pathetic state of affairs. [/QUOTE]
