They will learn when they have been hacked often enough. We should stop treating everyone as children. Oh no, children are now treated like adults.

Please click here to fix this.", but they will will absolutely refuse to click on that popup in Windows that tells them to update, because Microsoft is the ultimate evil that can't be trusted.
