Even though the effect on human education and commerce is undeniably good... it's hard not to read posts like this without a deep, disturbing sensation that something about the internet is profoundly incompatible with the way human brains have evolved.
I think this is exactly the point of posts like this. We have created an exploitable environment, that can be abused for several reasons (politics and economics, being the two most obvious). And the fact that it is abusable, makes it less of a thing "for humans" or, at least, something we have evolved to consume/participate every day, let alone every hour of our lives.
