I just wonder if the main stream internet is making people dumb these days. 
I see the primary search engines as shopping tools more than research tools. 
I wonder if the long term use and hooks the main stream internet is offering by
the mega corps is nothing more than their tool for international enslavement
via mass consumer psycology.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on this and how to put an end to it? 

I reason with data collection data marketing, data selling, agragation, mining,
and analytics for the primary purpose of productivity gains in all avenues
leading to consumer based society instead of information based. 

Let me know what you think.
