Why stop there? Why not fix human communication? Or how about we fix human behavior so there are no bad actors? Education may be hard, but scrapping and rebuilding a century-old communication standard in use by billions is harder.
I used the IRS example because the IRS never calls you. This is only known through experience, i.e. education.
- criddell 9y agoOn irs.gov, it says: > However, there are special circumstances in which the IRS will call or come to a home or business, such as when a taxpayer has an overdue tax bill, to secure a delinquent tax return or a delinquent employment tax payment, or to tour a business as part of an audit or during criminal investigations. So the IRS might call if you owe taxes. Surely moving from unsecured to a secured phone system can't be that big of a deal. In the US at least, we have experience something similar when we went from analog to digital television. Add a secured mode of telephone calls and then telephone owners choose if they want to receive calls or messages from unauthenticated callers.
