          I meant, if you don't have a ground in your box, don't just put a 3 prong outlet in there so you can plug in 3 prong items.  Others will likely use it not knowing there is no ground protection. ...

          Don't change outlets if your wiring does not have a ground wire in the box.  Otherwise someone plugging in a device would have no idea it's not actually grounded.

          It’s a good thing we all learned our lesson when humanity went extinct the first time by 1970. 
Can’t imagine the horror of having to live through ungrounded outlets AND non-organic food.

          You use these on non-grounded outlets where your appliance has a grounding prong. In which case you cannot change out the outlet since it will not meet code.
