> Take a topic you know absolutely nothing about. Let's say it's aerospace. Now every year we have an aerospace day to try and explain to you how various types of fan and jet engines work. You certainly wouldn't expect everyone to be able to handle fixing one after that one day, do you? Same with internet security.
People don't interact with jet engines, but they do interact with planes. And they're lectured about airplane safty evey single time they get in a plane. So this might actually be an argument in favor of educating people about internet security.
Bottom line: please don't overuse analogies. They don't prove anything.
Edit: simplify
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoPeople also don't interact with security on their computer pretty much ever but they do interact with their computer / the internet. Seems like a perfect analogy to me.
