I would be interested to learn if this is possible to educate a senior
management this behind the curve.

Mightn't it be better to quit, and leave this ticking bomb for someone else?

Seriously.  They'll have to hear it after they get a major security meltdown,
malware in the lan, ID theft traced to their company, perhaps a lawsuit.

Til then, unless the speaker is particularly gifted, what chance does he or she
have of selling seat belts and air bags to the adolescents?  Apparently none of
them is aware they're about to crash.  And have already been turning up the
ipods.

Who wants to play traffic cop to that, without any authority to haul the
responsible off to jail?
