People have always been divided into the smart and the stupid.
And in our time (the last hundred years or so) the Computer has been part of this process. People are using it to make each other smarter or stupider.
The App that makes this possible is Wikipedia.
You can tell a lot about a person by their attitude toward Wikipedia. Do they want people to get smarter or not?
There are also other group activities on the Net, where people help other people get smarter. There are many online schools. And they are very active for the one percent or so that use them.
The rest are satisfied to show their ignorance. And to support ignorant leaders.
And many Kindle books. That do the same thing books have done for hundreds of years: spread information farther and faster. A Kindle book can be sent around the world in a second for the same price as a paperback.
