The reason why is that they are narcissistic. A good book to understand younger people today is "The Narcissism Epidemic - Living in the age of Entitlement." But Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State (Ph.D. from the University of Michigan) and her cohort W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia (Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill) are not graduate students. I have bad news for them. The narcissism has spread far beyond the United States borders now. Yes, I have a degree in Psychology as well as degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science and was just considered for a teaching position at a University. I turned it down. I am holding out for that junior level Unix / Linux administration position that is commensurate with my experience. That is not a joke. It is what I am best at and that is now the level I should work at. So you if you want to see the social-psychnological reasons for why encryption is eschewed, read the book. The puzzle part for me is why many older people are also falling prey to stupid ideas just like they are teen-agers that have to be with the in-crowd. It does NOT bode well for getting encryption used by a lot of people though. I just wished I could walk into a Radio Shack store and purchase my Torx screw-drivers without some stupid grinning sales person trying to ram an iS**t device down my throat. I apologize to the Road Warriors that must use such a device but I don't want one. I am NOT on Facebook or Twitter either. And I unapologetically use encryption when it is appropriate. Thanks Zimmerman, Werner, and crew. HHH
