This ignorant user theory isn't an excuse - what can any company do to stop a user from giving their information out? digitalme will protect someone in many aspects but it will NEVER replace or insulate people from being duped.

Software can't keep people from being gullible no matter how much we want that to happen. People WILL give out their information when asked, it's part of human nature. We want to trust people, we want to believe them when they say they are only looking out for us. The only way we don't get conned is thru education and experience.

Let's not forget that one of the first steps in "hacking" is social engineering and that plays on human nature. digitalme will help insulate some aspects of this but will it cure it completely? Will it cure it effectively? I don't know...I can only hope it does.

We hope that we can develop technology that replaces the human nature of who we are and yet that same technology is called "putting a face on networking". Weird.
