Because information is so saturated that people become so jaded that they no longer care to retain it on an individual level. The main cause is laziness.

Many people don't learn shit from the internet, besides maybe the latest Facebook status or whatever. But for the people that want to learn the internet is amazing. I remember life without the internet. It sucked.

Because nobody thought to issue Internet licenses when this whole thing was starting up? North Korea has the right idea here, just replace fealty with IQ tests.

Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love and love is not music.

It's the age of distraction. One day, everything important will be a needle in a haystack of useless self-absorbed drivel.
This is how Google will take over the world. We'll depend on them more and more to filter out the good bits.
