It's a little of both for me. I spell a bit better but have much more trouble with " there they're and their" "to and too" two is still easy. That sort of thing.

I've always thought human intelligence is overrated
and the internet has simply proved it.

The idea that so much information available online
--shared globally-- might expand people's minds would
benefit us all was optimistic, but it just hasn't happened.

Basically... the majority seem to be pigheaded idiots.
We are all fortunate that there are enough smart
humans --or extraterrestrials-- around to advance
technology, medicine and other such things to support
and improve the lives of the general population.

On the up side, there are lots of people in the world who have
not allowed the opportunity to learn --from what the internet
provides-- slip through their fingers.
