Why is it in this day and age we ask so many dumb questions?

So many people ask so many weird,awkward and down right dumb questions, when there are so many people in need and the world is in decay. Why is it we cannot ask the right questions to the right people and get real answers so we can help one another survive? Is it just me or what?

Update:

I should have thought a bit prior to asking this question and one of my answers made me think of it, and I thank you JC Mad Dog! He was right that some kids get on asking questions and they are not dumb, they just don't know and are looking for answers, so let me rephrase this... why do adults ask so many weird, and downright stupid questions, when the world around them is going to sh**. Curious.

    People ask stupid questions because they're too lazy to research for themselves.

    Yea people ask the most obvious questions. Like back in the day I doubt ppl were as confused about everyday life as we are now. Lol ppl just woke up and lived day by day and dealt with it! Now everything is to the 10th degree

    Well you see some questions aren't considered dumb, because what we may deem as dumb someone else might find it confusing. So just think for a moment and try to distinguish confused questions and just flat out troll rants.
