I really like how the author pointed out the manipulative strategies behind the fact that we get a lot of useless information. Seriously, who cares if Google Maps used a snow mobile? But, read the article. See what's behind that. We generally gobble up information like a cow sucking on a teat, and often secondary aspects don't occur to us. This is proven over and over again by politicians. Fear mongering and manipulation is more common than you'd think. I put this in italics because it's fear mongering itself. The thing is, quite often people communicate in such indirect manner they completely forget they are operating on the level of emotion and other subconscious facilities, whereas the words are just a medium, and convey no meaning on their own. I think the lesson to take away from the article is that when reading publicizing materials it's important to ask yourself "why am I actually being given this information", and if you can't answer that immediately an alarm should ring in the back of your head.
