@Hougal Well, alot of things that seems like a big deal at the time often ends up being a fad on a long enough time liine.
And people have a tendency assuming the worst.
And stuff that is really revolutionary like computers and the internet were seem as pointless toys and only useful to nerds and academics respectively.
And even stuff like the internet is not all good or bad and are a mixed bag just like the printing press.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Well said... As you said it, it's a mixed...
People don't have tendency to assuming the worst... Everyone, even people that assuming only the worst part of those new technologies are consciencious of the good side of them... But the problem is that these stuffs have more bad side than good side as repercussion on humans life.
In the history, human have tendency to abuse when they find something good or benefits for their life... It's in the human nature!!! So these people that have tendency to assuming the worst as you said want to warn people!!! It's what I think!!!

@Hougal I am not saying you are wrong...But the problem is knowing which majority..Americans are so fractured as a society that each person can be part of several majorities and a few other minorities all at once..It isnt just black and white (to mention a couple of the minorities.)馃樂

I once read a story written by a woman from Sudan who said her grandmother said the TV was going to be the ruin of their community.
Why, because she said that before the TV they would gather around the village in the evenings and talk to each other and tell stories.
Now she said people gather and watch that box and dont talk to each other anymore.
I remember my best times as a child was listening to my grandparents tell their stories.

First we have to define those values and some of them are almost universal (thou shall not kill, etc), but if you really listen to what people value from different cultures, they are unique? We will lose some, unfortunately. When culture becomes homogenized, eventually the minority is lost.
