Poll: Create laziness? Too much cut n pastes? Too much naivity?
Absolutely. People forgot how to think
No. It's broadened the horizons and made research easier and more accessible
Awesome. Now I can manage 10 FF leagues with little or no work
Hmmm? Let me google this first.

Has the Internet dumbed down America?

#9

Quote:On your points:

1. The internet doesn't make people be lazy.  People choose to be lazy.

2. What is wrong with cut & paste?

3. How does having more information make you more naive?

4. A curse as opposed to what?  It's pretty clear we're not here on Earth just to act like animals.

5. Internet doesn't stop people from thinking creatively

6. Machine Rule is pretty much 100% going to happen.  But who is to say that is a bad thing, or a mistake.

7. I don't know what "power" is given to terrorism since everyone is on the internet.

8. Any civilization is reliant on itself

...

(okay I'm not even sure what you are talking about after that part)



What I meant by cut n paste is that some get a " news flash" and immediately forward it. How many times have these tidbits of information, accusations or presumptions proved false.


I'm with the blessing and curse. The laziness comes from the lack of critical thinking, research, double checking.

Yet, it is a blessing. My FF league is so much easier to run without having to wait till Mondays paper and manually calculating scores. I'm much too lazy to do that now.


As far as " we're not here on earth to act like animals" ? I wish that message would get out.
