Something like this is really important considering the future of all of our live is digital whether we like it or not.

Have those discussions, educate them on choices, and it will make their lives much safer going forward.

Have you ... ever dealt with people? This doesn't seem to be the typical reality for most.

Very much. I am the 'tech person' whithin family and friends. I used to just do everything for them which was a chore. Since then I have discovered if I educate them on what a browser is, the choices they have, and how you can try multiple ones if you are having issues, then they very often start solving problems and looking further into things themselves.
