Book Quote: The Accidental Further Adventures of the Hundred-Year-Old Man by Jonas Jonasson
"The thing about the tablet was that it tended to talk at its owner more than with them. As a result, people were going all over the internet and letting others think for them to the extend that they were on their way to becoming stupid.
Allan was concerned that truth was losing ground along with intelligence. It used to be easy to know what was true and what wasn't. Vodka was good. Two plus two wasn't five.
But since people weren't talking to each other any more, it ended up that whoever said the same thing most times won. Some had refined this talent to the point of repeating themselves several times in the course of a few seconds, In the course of a few seconds."
