Updating Conflicts and Programs in your Computer
SafetyHave you noticed that when Microsoft, Google, Apple or any other program updates you have to work to reconfigure your computer since many of your beloved programs and of course your computer  now will not work properly. The reason according to our expert is that there are so many threats, both internationally  and within our borders, that you can't make a stand-alone operating system. Thus the many programs, operating systems, search engines and individual sites will often conflict and create issues.
My suggestions:
 1. We create a system in which the many companies, developers  and government agencies talk to one another and let each know when an update or new program will be available or installed, so that the other companies can adapt their programs and systems to accommodate the coming changes. This could lead to some issues of copyright infringement but I am sure we can come up with a way to accommodate. 
2. We change school curriculum from suggesting Computer Science to require them to take this class. It would include methods and advice on how to prevent viruses, malwares, phishing emails and other threats to a computer. Thus we would have a large cadre of citizens which could become a wall to both prevention and a better understand what to do when an update is issued and your beloved computer no longer works the way you want it to!
