I’m not sure whether this is good news or whether it reinforces the dour stereotype. A survey by the Carnegie Trust UK of 5 000 people of all ages across the UK and Ireland found that Scots:
- had the highest proportion of people using a passcode to protect their phone
- were as likely to verify information against another source than not verify it
- had the highest proportion of people reporting to use a passcode
- were most likely to turn off location services
- were more likely to use a different (non-real) name online
- were less likely to use public wifi online banking
So, different again?

I have been using this second e-mail address and persona so long that I am beginning to believe it is the real me.
It all started when I signed up to NASA to have my name sent on a CD to Mars. I then sent my ex there next.
Some months later that e-mail address was passed to Barack Obama’s Election Campaign.
I received e- mails starting
Dear Bugger.

Interesting stuff and for what it’s worth it all seems logical to me.
Could the fact that we tend to verify information be a result of a constant deluge of misinformation from the MSM?
