You have to remember the world needs a mixture of people with varying intelligence. If there was not a constant supply of "average" people, who would work in the factories, producing all the products that the geniuses invent??

I think Carl Sagan summed it up best (I'm paraphrasing here):
"We live in a society that is dependent on science and technology, with no prerequisite to know anything about science nor technology."
All of this discussion about stupid people reminds me of a Simpson episode where Homer buys a computer and runs his own Internet site with codename MR. X. Just watch where Homer talks to a computer sales person. Reminds me of a stupid buyer who was almost like Homer Simpson in every way!!!

I have a brilliant one for you all.
The office at work have a wonderful system for printing out reports. I will tell you want we (IT guys) want first.
After investing heavly in some new all-in-one photocopiers/network printer/network fax machines, the software allows the printer to be liked to the file so all you have to do is say, 10 copies of file ZXY123 please, one button is pressed and the software does all the work. Wonderful.
Now they say "it's too complicated" and "Messes up our filing system". Because they still use the current system which dates back to the dates of DOS workstations. The file is created, saved using a 8.3 format (in the days of long filenames, of all things....), the filename and details are added to a database for reference. Nothing wrong with that you say, ah, you haven't heard the best bit yet!
The dos filename is then entered into a notebook along with the "proper" title, eg. ZXY123.DOC = General Meeting Notes 10 September 2001. The notebook is then locked in the safe at night in case anything happens to it.
So, if you want a copy of say yesterdays meeting notes, you have to look it up in the notebook, find the filename, cross-reference that with the database to find the Document ID, and open the file via the ID, print a copy out and send that to be copied.
Yet this, they claim, is easier than the new system......Worse still we cannot do a damn thing about it....YET!
And we are living in the paperless office...
