The Internet Makes Us Dumberer
The Pew Institute issued yet another study about how stupid Americans are, and how we are getting stupider. (Query: At what point do the scientists decide Americans are as dumb as possible and stop studying this? Check back in November 2008, I guess.) Wired's take on the story is "despite the Internet, we are less informed."
Despite the internet? Through that lens, this study is no surprise at all: Let's foist the most distracting blink-box in history on a nation of idiots begging to be distracted and see if they linger on the boring parts.
