The aspect of psychology

Psychology isn't exact science. There is the reason of existence several explanations, why some people will try to open this video.

We are asking a few questions now: Can we really want to watch the video, where a lot of people will come to die. Although most of us don't want to see these films shots, a lot of people will try to open them. Why? Who are these people?

1) People who want to make sure if the massacre has been so horrible like they think. These people will be mostly men from 30 to 50 years old. The technical dangerous for these people will be different, because their knowledge about computer security are different too (dependence on their security education).

2) People who want to boast they are very psychologically strong persons, because they have watched it. They will be men from 16 to 25 years old. The technical dangerous for these people will not be so big, because they usually know how to keep PC in security.

3) It is paradox the woman 30 years old and the younger ones are endangered least although their knowledge about computer security is mostly very low. Probably only a few 20 years old girls will try open this video, because these aged girls will not want to see so horrible films shots.

4) The most endangered people are the ones their job chains of these events, for example doctors and editors. They will have really big reason to see this, but their knowledge about computer security is mostly very low too.

5) Also bloggers will be interested in it, because they will want to write their post into their blogs. Bloggers computers dates are very endangered too.

6) Only a few people will looked forward to see this video. They are usually men they like violence. The computers dates of these people are endangered very much too.

7) Other people will try open this file, because they will think, they have not watched all about this on TV and they have not read all about this in newspapers. They will suppose they will see unique and uncensored films shots. Also the computers dates of these people are endangered.

What does video to be interesting?

This is not event itself, but there are medias. Medias used practices of social engineering techniques to increase interest of their reports. For example wars reports are not mostly directly from the area of conflict, however the reports inform ?directly? from the wars area.
