Yeah, there is no way to ever have everyone educated enough to avoid those things.  Too many people can barely function in life, let alone avoid phishing emails.

The easiest way to think about it is "virtualized apps in a container".  Now that there are abilities to virtualize at the application level, you can isolate the apps from the rest of the apps/system/OS.  

Eventually I see dApps getting more popular (distributed apps), all running in virtual containers.  The other bonus there is you don't run into incompatabilities (DLL issues, version issues, etc) with other apps.  Each has their own environment and nothing can interfere with it.  Containters are a very cool technology that takes virtualization to the next level.
