    It puts you in a box and controls your intellectual feeding. You no longer get contradictory viewpoints, only similar ones to reinforce what you may already believe or lean towards. Without dissenting dialogue or debate(censorship) or the sharing of DIFFERENT facts/ideas you can not make a rational or well thought out opinion/decision . My father was an over the road driver for many years, spending weeks and months in a truck with little human interaction, it has taken years since his retirement to even consider an opposing idea or fact. I believe this was due to his being intellectually "cut off" from the rest of the population. He had no thoughts/ or ideas/opinions to consider other than his own.
