Agreed. That was my reaction at the time I came across this. I got the impression that some felt it was cruel to leave them in such a primitive state. That was not my feeling at all. I felt there was a lot to learn from them as an antidote to modern anxieties and neurosis, but that opportunity is lost. My original comment was made out of fear that when everyone is on the internet, something important will also be lost.
