People care about what they care about breaking in their hands and exploding into their faces.
ASD and BAD, probably also ADHD.
People also love to assume what they keep on their hard drives and memory sticks is somehow preserved over time and machine time. Bitflips and other physical effects onto your imagined perfect machine are why it’s not, and is as good or worse as what’s written on paper. A cat decides to piss onto your grandpa’s diary and there’s no more diary. Or humidity slowly eats it. With computers it’s even faster.
