Fragmented Media - What Will Come of It ?

[Michael Hardner]

I remember when I was a kid hearing the old-timers saying that television had caused a great change in society. What people believe, think and do can all be influenced by taking in new data, by way of the TV. I'm not saying it's bad or good, but that it happened.

Very true - especially the part about it not being bad or good. There will be order at the end of the day, no matter what media we use.

Now the internet is doing the same thing, albeit in a different way. How will people change because of this thing that so permeates our lives and society? The good, the bad and the unspeakable are now at our finger tips.

We have television in our recent memory, too, to help us understand what is happening.

When you say that there will be order at the end of the day, what are you talking about?

You'll see.

No, I'm kidding. Changes in communications technology eventually result in political change on some level. And in the end, there is calm on the surface of the water, to use a metaphor here.
