Interesting article.
The first 75% I would send to my non-technical friends and family as well as the technical ones, as an awareness builder.
The last 25% are a surprising call for action (surprising as from the tone of article, I expected it to be a fun rant only).
It's tricky because a lot of people tend to discount knowledge imparted once they perceive it was with the objective of persuading you to The Cause. It makes the informational portion more suspect of cherry picking or bias.
In other words, while I personally agree both with the technical rant, and the call to action, I feel majority of my friends would react negatively to two of them together, just on general principles/reflexes.
Not sure what the solution would be; perhaps two linked articles - first the rant, and then a link to "Proposed solution" article at the bottom? Most people I know would react better if they felt they were in control of asking for solution guidance, rather than part of a seeming bait & switch...
