Has the internet brought us together or driven us apart? are we losing our culture?
The short answer is: Yes.
Just as the printing press led to the loss of theocracy and divine right monarchy (and some say memory)
Radio led to the loss of ships at sea disappearing without a trace (and some say the ability to entertain oneself)
TV led to the loss of candidates being chosen in smoke-filled back rooms (and some say imagination)
Every new overlay of invention loses some things that are good and some that are bad and changes many of the rest. There is only one way to deal with this phenomenon: get over it.
