Is the Internet Making People Dumber?
Example:
This morning I clicked on an article on the home page of Yahoo about how the richest 10% are spending half of the money in America right now... The first thing was that the sensational title was not accurate for what the article said - it was actually only 37% that they were spending and it was only for some short time period...
But, the comments below the article... Wow. It was all about how "the man" was out to get the little guy and about how these big guys were the problem, etc... And any time someone would try to make a comment about responsibility for your own circumstance and self reliance they would get flamed...
So, I started wondering... How many people actually read the full article - which was not the same as the headline... And how many of them actually know that making over $150k a year probably puts you in the top 10% - its not just the buffets and gates... And lastly, how many of these people are just caught up in simplistic herd mentality that often consumates itself in the comments of articles like that one.
So, is the internet making all this worse and people dumber for it?
And if thats the case, whats the ultimate end result of all of this? It scares me to think about it really...
