Distortion of perception, getting people dependent upon escapism, impairment, and the dumbing down one's capacities.
Yeah, let's lay it at the feet of the greatest marketing machinery in the history of the world.

...dumbing down of [one's] capacities, that is.
(As you can see, one needs to be able to summon one's capacities, not impair them.)

Distortion of perception, getting people dependent upon escapism, impairment, and the dumbing down one's capacities. I tried it when I was very, very young -- and I *hated* it.
I didn't like the feeling of time as a series of discrete events instead of a contiguous flow.
And I could see "outside" myself and wanted to smack myself.
After the second time which confirmed the first time, I never touched it again.

That's a good description of the Internet as well!
