Do you believe that the content on the internet is making our thoughts clearer? Or is it making us more confused than we already are?

For any process there are two types of input. Raw input and preprocessed input.

Brands know that people don't know what they want, so they do analysis on the data present to get what they want.

What we see on the internet is just raw data only. So, it is very much likely that what we see with our eyes, is inaccurate. Does not depict the whole scenario.

So, I don't believe everything on the internet. But at the same time, it is difficult to curb the effects from the influence.

I am not confused. I've learned A LOT from both the internet and real life. I have formed my own conclusions through observations and personal experiences. After 38 (going on 39 soon) years of life, you're just BOUND to learn a thing or two... hundred thousand things in life, if not more, lol.

Not just confused, but convinced of things that aren't true and meaner about it.

Depends on the topic. I have a hard time reading between the lines, so I find myself re reading things like news or political related topics. But it makes things clearer when shopping for things I know little to nothing about.

smarter people might find clarity...

the herd, is always going to be the herd...

Neither. People may be better educated, but most are very poorly schooled.

The good things are is accessible, and it has some factual information. The downside is sifting through. The misleading information.

Sometimes it adds to the clutter I already
