The world is a dangerous place. Well, according to Google anyway.

Google has just ensured us that we all have seriously messed it up. We (all web sites in the world, that is) are harmful. This past weekend Google had a system problem as a result of which all search hits came back with the qualifier: "This site may harm your computer".

I am just wondering: what if this had been true. What if there really was an explicit danger from going to any web site in the world. Would that change people's habits in any way? Would we stop surfing the net? Or would we just adapt? Simply learn to accept that there is danger out there but not being able to resist, we would still venture out?
