With the development of new technologies perpetually taking over our society, we have learned that we no longer have to think, we don't have to. At our fingertips is a smart phone with access to the world wide web. Who cares that we can no longer multiply 8 x 7 in our heads, we always have a calculator. How do you spell ignorant? Who knows, that is what spell check is for. I will discuss the idiotic things I see on a daily basis that makes me lose faith in the average IQ of the human race.

Wal-Mart
If you know me, you probably would have witnessed me looking at someone doing something inattentive and unaware of the world around them (which to me translates into stupidity) and saying "They must shop at Wal-Mart". Wal-Mart is one of the worlds biggest retailers, because of this they are able to sell things at a reduced cost. When you sell things cheap you bring all kinds of people to your store, visit http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/ for proof. You will definitely see some strange things while shopping there, but I am referring more to the way people act. Have you ever tried to go to Wal-Mart and pick up one item that is only sold at the back of the store? If you answered yes, then you too have embarked on the wild safari through the aisles of what we call Wal-Mart. It seems as if everytime I must go to Wal-Mart I am constantly dodging people and carts that are stopping right in front of me, or turning around abruptly to try and hit me. You also have the people that are moving really slow as if they are trying to keep you from your one item at the back of the store. Those folks usually have a blank stare on their face as if to suggest they have no idea where they are or what they are looking for, all they know is they received $10 and intend to fill up a shopping cart with it. Even though they are moving very slow, that won't stop them from abruptly stopping and blocking the only path to your one item, or turning around and trying to hit you with their cart. Once you finally make it through the maze and boobie traps to your one item, you are rewarded to find it in stock, cheaper than most of it's local competitors. However, you quickly realize that your journey isn't over, and you must now maneuver your way to the checkout, and then to your car. Even once you get safely to your car, you realize that you must now maneuver through all the same people and their carts, just to leave the parking lot. Once you are off of Wal-Mart property, you will be driving home and someone will pull out in front of you, proceed to go 15 mph under the speed limit, then abruptly turn on to a side street without signaling. And you too will say "They must shop at Wal-Mart."
