[I guess I have already told you this, before, but anyway]
I think as few humans got better and stronger, they made better and complicated tools that made rest of us weaker and dumber.
Foe example:
Those who came with the idea of GPS probably have been highly intelligent people, but users... They don't need to know the sky anymore to find their way. ( If the pollution lets them even see the stars)
I'm just curious to know how dumb have we become, and google is probably doing experiences on this, by filtering search results, their suggestion in YouTube home page, and probably many many other ways that I don't know. Hope there was a way to access their data on this. lol

Those filters on Google are almost as dumb as their translation machine. (Bet there is a person like a telephone operator connecting our sentences to native language speakers, often called up out of bed in the middle of the night, wishing they could work at Amazon customer service instead where there are only standard replies.)
I knew a man, was in a systems psychology class with him, who got a job with Amazon and what he was called to do was counsel (via phone of course) those Amazon employees who worked from their desks at home and seemed to be having lot's of domestic squabbles with spouses and children who couldn't make the separation of job/home. The company saves money and the families suffer in some new way. So, customer service isn't all it's cracked up to be either....
Let me not be cynical and parody motivational indoctrination (like Despair,inc., Texas), but I will have to say that it's pretty hopeless once we start inventing jobs to help people do their invented jobs, such as solvers to reliable problems. The very act of setting up a customer service is to expect issues. Wishful thinking is not evolving in this way.
