I see your point. For many it's been all too easy for the Net to foster a virtual vicarious view of other peoples' lives. I'm old enough (60) for my early days to have been shaped more by a tangible Real World than an electronic one. I can see how those who grew up after the rise of Networked iLife might base their world view on less tangible experience, presuming they know more about hands-on cultural physics than the watching life through the World Wide Window allows.
