What is the dark web and how does it differ from the deep web?
Today on Something You Should Know, what's the dark web or the deep web and who's using it? Can you use it? Then is marriage dying? Apparently not, but it is changing.
Let's put it this way. Fewer than 10% of people say they don't want to get married, but what you have increasingly is quite a number of people who say they've no idea if they actually will get married.
Also, you may likely be misreading your dog's emotions. And one of the world's leading experts on how to build and maintain an unshakable belief in your abilities.
The idea is to cultivate a sense of certainty about your ability that allows you to bypass or ignore a lot of conscious analytical thought and simply execute almost unconsciously.
All this today on Something You Should Know.
Is marriage really dying or just evolving?
Something you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts. And practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers.
You've probably heard of the dark web or the deep web. But do you really know what those terms mean? I didn't. So that's what we're going to start this episode of Something You Should Know with. So when you hear the term the dark web, it sounds like some sinister underground version of the internet where criminals are buying and selling illegal things. And while some of that does happen, the reality is a lot more interesting. First, the dark web is not the same thing as the deep web, even though people often use the terms interchangeably. The deep web is simply all of the online content that search engines don't index. Your email inbox, online bank accounts, medical records, subscription content, and company databases are all part of the deep web.
In fact, most of the internet is deep web content. The dark web is a much smaller piece of it. It consists of websites that require special software, most commonly a browser called Tor, to access. Tor routes internet traffic through multiple computers around the world to make it much harder to identify who is visiting a site and who is operating it. That anonymity attracts criminals, but it also attracts journalists, political dissidents, whistleblowers, and ordinary people who simply value privacy.
What factors are influencing the changing attitudes towards marriage?
In countries where governments censor the Internet or monitor citizens, the dark web can provide one of the few ways to communicate freely. So despite its spooky reputation, the dark web isn't inherently illegal. It's really just a privacy tool. What matters is what people do with it. And that is something you should know. Marriage seems to have an image problem these days. Fewer people are getting married, many are waiting until much later in life, birth rates are falling, and more people are choosing to remain single altogether. If you listen to some commentators, marriage is becoming obsolete, a relic from another era that is slowly disappearing. But is that really what's happening? Has marriage lost its relevance, or is it simply evolving into something different than it used to be?
Joining me to sort out the myths, the realities, and what the future may hold is Stephanie Kuntz. She is Director of Research and Public Education for the Council on Contemporary Families.
How do gender expectations affect the desire to marry?
She's written extensively for publications including the New York Times, CNN, and the Wall Street Journal. And she's author of a book called For Better and Worse, The Complicated Past and Challenging Future of Marriage. Hi, Stephanie. Welcome to Something You Should Know. Thank you Mike. So despite what you hear people say, what is the state of marriage today? Is it going the way of the dinosaur? Is marriage dead? Is marriage very much alive? What is it?
Certainly, marriage is not dead. Yes, back in the 1950s, more people married. 94% of them married before they reached their 35th birthday. Only 5% of them never married at all. The average age of marriage was under 21 for a woman and under 23 for a boy. So when you look at what's happening to now, you still get 80, 85% of Americans half-wed at some point. but that's not until they reach their 50s and 60s.
