do you have some one in your life (friend, relative, SO etc) that just falls for everything? especially on the internet? i know some one that believes every forward told to her.. still waiting on that free pc from bill gates if she forwarded the email to 10 people and etc.. its like i try to correct her when i know its false but she just falls for something even stupider later.. i know shes not one that is net-savey but you would think after awhile she would question more things instead of still blindly believing everything. in real life she believes almost everything told to her too! when she doesnt is usually when she should lol..
is there any hope for people like this? will they ever learn to not believe everything they are told? can you teach people to not be gullible??

This is actually known as an illness in modern society nowadays. Scientists have done many studies on this subject.
They have not said why it is spreading or even why.
