Yesterday I was wondering why encryption is not the default. Government shmovernment, but I remember looking up how to password-protect directories in Windows 95 (sorry to everyone else on HN who got started on an Apple II). It wasn't until college that I figured out that you can easily navigate the directory structure in another machine by just plugging in hard drives to a machine running a different OS. I look at people's nude pics of themselves by PC/phone repair people, and I'm convinced that there is no good reason why data should be stored in plain text. But now search comes into the picture, and it's expected and we're probably stuck with it for my lifetime
