And of course total control over each human being, where they can press a button and someone will pass out, like if someone is robbing a bank they can simply press a button. This is a problem when tyrants are in control though.

People in poverty living on farms I believe used to have around a 50,000 word vocabulary and that's been dwindled down to maybe 8,000 (IIRC) words today as we have blended everything together for short sound bites and headlines rather than reading complex books that take a lot of focus and brainpower.
