I used to be smart, scored high in the top 10% on the ASVAB, and ACT tests. I had been able to write English without too many problems, and I seemed to be able to know what I was talking about.

That was 1986, before I got involved in heavy GUI use and heavy computer use. Apparently, despite getting A's and B's in high school and college, [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=93436|Now I am stupid as well as blind], two IWETHEY'ers can attest to me being stupid. All those hours of looking at the monitor has ruined my eyesight, somehow I was able to get a mental disability and went on Disability. It has all been downhill since 1986. I just keep on getting worse it seems. So there may be something to your statement that "THESE FUCKING MACHINES MAY WELL HAVE CREATED PERMANENT MENTAL DISABILITIES".
