Good article. After the printing press there was the telegraph, then the telephone, now the internet. It has been shown that the internet communication is just one step better than faxing information. It is a terrible way to communicate because it leaves out social cues, and face to face tonals, body language, and is not spontaneous. There is so much misunderstanding rampant on the internet these days. No one knows for sure what is the real story behind the news. For every law abiding citizen there are four hackers trying to siphon money from you in an invisible technology. The worst part is that the communication via the internet is becoming 9nvsible to its' users. It is taken for granted that it is THE way to communicate. It is changing the way we all relate to each other, and the change is not for the better.
