Computer Basics 101: Phishing

I think everyone should have to take a test to use the computer. Think: Driver's Training, but for computers. There are just far too many people out there that have absolutely no idea what they are doing and that will click on anything they see that even looks remotely interesting. What confuses me is why intelligent people who would never go down a dark alley on the wrong side of town at 2am and ask for directions but will go to some shady website that they've never heard of and click on anything they're told to? Why is there such a disconnect?


Enough ranting. Please make every one of your relatives watch this video. You know, the one who still thinks that 'blue e' on their desktop IS the internet. The one who downloads anything and everything that is sent to them and then asks you why their computer doesn't work. You know, the guy who tried to help that Nigerian king last year. That guy.
