Maybe it's just me then :)
With a victimization complex.:)Or something.
I worked in IT a little. And the more you know about what goes on the smarter you feel you have to be.
For example recently some thousands of medical records and information were hacked from the NHS in uk. The NHS were still running XP for petes sake..
It came to light that it wasn't just the NHS that were running antiquated hardware and operating systems, the problem was throughout government organizations.
Maybe I should have called the topic (((paranoia ))) :)
It's probably more to do with most people not really knowing how it all works. It's like that in any profession. When a patient, you don't know what goes no behind the screens, all the things that have to happen to make it work. Nor does the patient care. Medical personnel does know of course and usually make lousy patients as they know too much, hihi.
Like a tourist in a resort isn't aware of the goings on behind the screens, nor does he care. He's on holiday after all.
With IT / internet most people know about hacks and stuff, but they don't really know.
And to be honest, I don't really care either. I probably would when I'm affected personally, don't know.
I had to sign this official form when I switched dentist that had to do with privacy and safe-guarding my data. Me thinking who bleeping cares?! I'm not fussy about strangers knowing about my teeth, haha, who'd care? Just sign me over, dammit!
I am more concerned that so much is on the net, or accessible by it, like military things, and I believe things like our water supply, safety of nuclear plants and so on.
We'll get our national monthly alert via SMS (text) only from next year onward. But what if there's a disaster that renders internet / phones useless? Then we won't get alerts. I'm for keeping the mechanical ones we've used for donkey years.
But I'm not thinking about such things too much as I've noticed it gets you from a higher vibration in a low one, the one of fear.
