We just visit it occasionally. Every new means of communication that comes into our lives displaces something else, something that has been of value. One of our goals is for communication to replace transportation, but this may affect the structure of our cities. Part of the current information revolution has been a time revolution, not measured in microseconds and nanoseconds, but in hours. In a free and open society, we get the media content that we want, including sex and violence.
Information is now limitless.
Media may politically empower us as individuals. Nations can't stop the spread of media, although some governments want to. As media spread, equality spreads. That spreads democracy. The poorer the country, the greater the media control.
