Actually normal common sense isn't applicable to new technology.
Quote from Wikipedia

Of two general meaning attached to the term "common sense" in philosophy, one is
a sense of things being common to other things, and the second is a sense of
things that are common to humanity.
It is common sense not to stick your fingers in a live socket but only if you
know what a live socket is. IM(ns)HO
