There seem to be a growing idea in Silicon Valley minds that we (IT crowd, devs, techies, managers) are in fact great! Way smarter then those stupid peons around us which use our products. So logically we have a mission to bring those unwashed morons to the bright side, and we must manipulate them for their own good.
While it's certainly pleasant illusion for us, there are two glowing problems:
1. We are not necessary better (neither morally, nor intellectually) then other people, it's just a current importance of IT economy which makes us a bit more successful, and and sometimes gives us some sort of influence.
2. There's an empirical evidence of activist journalism which suggests the only achievable result on this way is loss of respect, and growing animosity.
