Same thing for the busy-ness, I try to check each both every morning to see if it has been doing transactions in the past few hours (or minutes mostly), and I get notifications when it is actually down. But sometimes I'm just tooooooo busy, and it just doesn't happen :-)
So no biggy on that, just so you know that if you notice, feel free to let me know, it's not an issue.
Regarding the awareness, yep, I'm noticing the same... Unfortunately, here in the area (very rural, I think it plays a part), it's mostly unawareness that I see growing, and increasingly rapid as well...
