But, in doing so, because we are choosing which information we take in and from who we get it from, it can become a bad habit (but easy one to slip in) to instinctively agree with everything we read. It's something I'm weary of, or at least trying to be. Different for everyone, I suppose. My belief is that clutter has increased, but we’ve figured out workarounds (RSS, etc.).

Clutter has always existed. Mediums and businesses will constantly be vying for our attention. And speaking to tunnel vision...considering that the source of most of our information used to be magazines and newspapers (where external parties curated information instead of ourselves), I can't fathom that we are becoming weaker critical thinkers.
