3/4 of the content on the internet is just plain wrong. The more you read, the more misinformation you spout to your friends and acquaintances. It's a rumor mill gone bad.
Sooo... No.
This touches on the poll's latter, I assume that's what you voted for?
yups good guess midi
-__- Massive facepalm, did you read my first post on this thread? a whopping 42% of the internet's populous spend their time on social networks. This doesn't include blogs, forums, email, or such apps. 31% of the internet, on the other hand, is consumed on facebook. To me, facebook and twitter are great resources for fueling stalkers, spiraling IQ's and EQ's, and a reason for people to lose physical contact might it be phone or trips. Then again, these softwares are politically active, and have many tactical business ventures. This serves marketing, SEO, Splogs, etcetera-- which are counter productive for the masses and the inept occupant. This is only the darkside I'm covering, however, there are many far good keypoints.
It is a double edged sword. It allows small groups to send out information in efforts to control the collective but it also allows individuals more access to knowledge. It all depends on how its used.
What is the effect of the internet?
If you're stupid, it's not Google's fault
I believe that, since the internet is more 'responsive' (that is, a user is primarily exposed to his/her own personal inquiries), it perpetuates both stupidity and intelligence. But I haven't spent much time on this subject- I'm interested to see what you guys think.
I look at it like school you can learn from it or you can just socialize.
Usually 'schools' are supposed to discipline students to the former.
