People get better at this stuff, but slowly. The current privacy issue is growing in the public consciousness, spurring action from "techies". Maybe 20 years from now easy to use encryption will be the norm, even among regular people.
- redblacktree 13y agoI hope you're right. Time will tell, I guess.
- hobs 13y agoThat's a fair point. However, I still see the contraction of skills being greater as the web caters to those without them, and people's skill atrophying. For instance, Facebook messaging vs instant messaging. For most standard users I know, they have literally lost any reason to use an alternate client, and many of them will probably never become familiar with one as a result. Anyway, its a wait and see situation, hopefully we are both around to see!
