This is why all the grandpas and old people need to shut up about how evil all this modern conveniences are. There's a reason we have shit like this, not because we're hedonistic idiots, but because we understand how things work and are finding better and better ways to make them work.
If I want something, I'm probably going to use the fastest and easiest method of getting it. It's two in the goddamn morning, I'm in my pajamas. Why the fuck should I go to the damn library? Who in their right mind wouldn't go on Wikipedia.
I really don't think that people are becoming more stupid, it seems like people are just getting more vocal and we're being confronted by stupidity everyday. And don't misconstrue it as laziness either, it's just the best way to complete a job or get something.
BUT I READ BRAVE NEW WORLD AND O LEANRED THAT STUFF LIKE THIS MAKES PEOPLE DUMB AND ALL LAYED BACK AND NOT READ BOOKS AND STUFF
