Weeding out the inept and unknowing from those that actually do is a skill most don't have or know they need to successfully use the internet to it's fullest potential
And these two bold areas are what make the dumb dumber and the smart not so much. Too many smart people read things and believe them even though they are false, and the dumb aren't smart enough to do the weeding out. To name a few, anti-vaxxers, gluten free, global warming, etc. There is plenty of information out there, finding the correct and truthful information is the hard part and many people don't spend the time to weed through it all to find the truth. Quite a few hop on the me too bandwagon just to get their like high. It's the new pretty girl club from high school. It also leads to the instant gratification, and why kits are no longer popular, they take too long!
