To read all the user agreement for all of the popular sites require 75 working days Bashny.Net

We are ready to devote as much time reading legal documents?



In life there are such things as user agreement. We see them everywhere - in advertising, web sites, you are encouraged to read them and when installing software. Tell me honestly - do you ever read them? The license agreement with the end user, the user agreement, privacy policy - call it what you like, the essence is the same: you need to take responsibility for what you are going to do.

Most people just scroll through the entire article from the tedious legal terminology to the end and click on the "I agree". And this behavior has a good reason. The staff at Carnegie Mellon University recently conducted a study to find out how long it would take the average person to read all user agreements on all the sites where he periodically comes.

The researchers took the top 75 web sites and analyzed the user agreement - they found that in the same document contains an average of 2514 words. They then calculated the time it would take a person to read the document, understand its contents and agree to the terms. The results are alarming.

The average person reading all the documents will take 75 working days. Theoretically, you have to spend 15 working weeks to read and understand how websites will treat your personal information.

Of course, no one has so much free time, so it was not a pity to spend on the reading of these documents - that's the answer to why we simply agree to the terms, do not even really knowing, what exactly.
