Are you suggesting that people just grab their car keys and go drive in highways? Without any knowledge about what they are doing?
Requesting people to obtain a 'virtual' driving license before surfing on an information highway is an initial point to start teaching people how they have to "drive" their computer just like they drive their cars or bike or anyother counterpoint highway in order to *not* endanger theirs or others' lives.
This approach, my friend, may even works for riding horses in wild west...
Let EVERYBODY who wants to sit behind a computer pass a driving exam JUST LIKE you must pass an exam before beeing allowed to drive a car or a motorcycle or even a bike!
Stop brainwashing people that using a pc is "soooo easy"... No!
Force them to spend a reasonable amount of time in "theory" and "practic" lessons first.
As a geek, I don't drive cars becuase i don't have a driving license. I know that driving a car without having a driving license is against the laws and against my own common sense becuase i can endager my life and the lives of others in the highway.
So why my grandma must be allowed to just turn her computer on and "drive" to the information highway without having anykind of protection and license to do it, causing danger for his own car (pc) and others, is beyond my comprehension.
