[QUOTE="Shinigami357, post: 4077714, member: 259068"] Oh? And you know this because... You're in a third-world country? Yeah, which one of use lives in the US and which one lives in some far-off South-East Asian Archipelago again? Let me reiterate again, how much of our information is stored inside computers or servers or whatever the hell they use nowadays. Now, as I understand it, communication, in every sense of the word, is the transfer of information. i.e. not merely word of mouth. Therefore, operating beyond that basic assumption, most of the information flow around the world would perhaps not screech to a grinding halt, but it will slow down beyond what you might think. Some [going back to my "ship the whole library of congress" metaphor] would be damn near impossible. Furthermore, the internet provides us more than one way to communicate. A phone is, as the name suggests, a phonetic device. The internet can transmit information phonetically [sound files], visually [images, text, video] or by raw data [program, code etc]. It's not just ease and availability, it's versatility. Also, coming back to your misguided attempt at the "first-world/third-world" analogy. Pardon me for saying, but you have no clue what you're saying. First off, while it is true that our connections and internet speeds in here are negligible in comparison to yours, the fact is, we still are connected. Just because we have less of it doesn't mean we need it any less than you. That's a very narrow-minded view. Second, the truth is actually the reverse of what you are saying. Over here, a lot of people work abroad, and that's really another discussion. The fact is, the way most of us connect to those people far off is through the internet. Calling long-distance is too friggin' expensive for people working their asses off. Third, the internet is actually a replacement of sorts to the things that our third-world country cannot give us. As I'm typing this, my browser has capabilities to search Google, Wikipedia and Merriam-Webster [writers need their dictionaries, by God] and whatever other site I wish, with a few clicks. Our public libraries can scarce compete with that. I've learned a lot of things off the internet I was not taught in our school systems. [/QUOTE]
