In a certain electronic sense, yes, but emotionally and socially, we are not more connected than ever before. So like I said, this utopian promise of the Internet connecting and liberating and educating us has not happened. In fact, it's the opposite that has happened.
- oh_my_goodness 2y agoYeah, this. And people ignoring this point or actively downvoting it ... that's not just puzzling it's symptomatic. The capitalism I'm fine with, though we need the New Deal version to come back. But universal isolation and depression, or feeling like we live in a factory farm, no.
