The thought process of non-technical people is truly fascinating. These are people who type "www.google.com" on Google, have 5+ toolbars and smiley screensavers installed, and generally act on any call to action that is presented to them (including fake antivirus warnings).
As web entrepreneurs we need to learn how to exploit these people and make as much money as possible from them. It's the right thing to do to preserve the natural selection process and ensure the proper evolution of the Homo Iunctus. /kidding

- saint-loup 16y ago>>>and generally act on any call to action that is presented to them... There is also the exactly opposite behavior : non-technical people who are uncomfortable with computers and scared of doing something wrong, and thus do nothing. People who don't read dialogs not because they are lazy, but because they're sure they won't understand a single word of it. They never click, never never try to fix the problem themselves (and find out there's probably no real problem) or understand what's going on.
