>What would a society look like if you somehow forcibly limited the number of people you could contact? You just need to look back into history and see. We've basically been increasing the reach of contact, being the end game: globalization. So you'd have: - several monopolies spread across many countries instead of Google for example; - less massive companies like Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Apple; - less access to services and goods; - less emigration and brain power leakage; - less economic growth; - and the list goes on Like this board wouldn't exist if you forced that limit. Is this bad? I don't think it has to be bad necessarily, it's a choice that wasn't made in the past and some countries/organizations have benefited from it more then others.
