“Thanks is part to our education system, we tend to think that we're smarter than the stupid guys in funny wigs who came before us. But that's because we are mistaking technology, progress, and access to information for intelligence. We think that because we know how to use iPhones (but not build them), browse the Internet (but not understand how it works), and use Google (but not really know anything), our educational system is working just great. By the same token, we think that those dumb aristocrats who used horses to get around and didn't have electricity were neanderthals.” ThinkingKnowsUseUsedGuyTechnologyKnow HowProgressStupidInformationInternetHorseEducationalAccessThanksDumbSmarterGoogleElectricityEducation SystemIphoneTokensEducational SystemWigsAccess To InformationNeanderthalsStupid Guy Author:Glenn Beck

“I often use the iPhone as an example of how governments shape markets, because what makes the iPhone ‘smart’ and not stupid is what you can do with it. And yes, everything you can do with an iPhone was government-funded. From the Internet that allows you to surf the Web, to GPS that lets you use Google Maps, to touch screen display and even the SIRI voice activated system - all of these things were funded by Uncle Sam through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), NASA, the Navy, and even the CIA!” UseGovernmentVoiceCan DoStupidExampleInternetShapesProjectsSmartResearchDefenseAgencyMapsDisplayGoogleUnclesNavyCiaIphoneSurfNasaNot StupidGpsUncle SamSiriGoogle Maps Author:Mariana Mazzucato
“I'd go to conference after conference and it would essentially be the talking points. Either pro or con. It's amazing how polarized the tech conversation is. There's also this neurological fixation, the incessant wondering what the Internet's doing to our brain: "Does it make us stupid, does it make us distracted?" And then the other guys say, "No, it's making us smarter than ever, and better than ever, and more connected." And it's like, where is the economic and social context? Why is that rarely considered?” DoeGuySocialBrainTalkingWonderEconomicStupidInternetConversationConnectedSmarterConferencesDistractedOther GuysIncessantFixation Author:Astra Taylor

“Thanks to the Internet, I think, a lot of hate has moved to more anonymous venues. A lot of people get their aggression out that way. Or they do some drive-by hating—you know, where they’re in a car and they yell something stupid out the window at a stoplight and then take off. It’s just not as involved and laborious to be a hater as it used to be. There’s not as much face-to-face interaction. Facebook’s made ’em lazy.” PeopleThinkingHateCarStupidInternetWindowMovedThanksLazyAggressionHate You Author:Negin Farsad
