Think about the last time you were driving through a busy road. You reached an intersection, saw the red light and stopped. A few moments later, yellow appeared. Then came green, and without anyone telling you what to do, you moved ahead. We do this almost every day. But have you ever stopped at a red light and wondered why it is red?

This person must know what they are talking about. No proof needed. Just a symbol. That small habit says a lot about how the human mind actually works, and it has very little to do with technology and everything to do with psychology.
