Going online without understanding the basics of how the internet works is like getting behind the wheel without knowing the road rules: you might still get where you’re going, but you could be a danger to yourself and those around you.
Using the internet is now a daily activity for most Australians. Yet, the number of people who actually understand the internet’s mechanics is small. Government and schools do work to promote cyber security and cyber safety, but the message is still not getting widespread attention.
Ultimately there is only so much that government or businesses can do to keep us safe online. At a certain point, we need to take personal responsibility and educate ourselves about how to use the internet safely.

The problem is that one often needs money upfront to support buying equipment, materials, food, rent, dresses for spouse etc. So even if the product is the best since nuclear power one still can't make money on it until it ships and can be billed. Oh and then there's the nagging female at home that may tell one to "get a real job".
Btw, what do you think of KiCAD?
