The Internet has certainly changed the nature of connections. I think also the real user-friendliness of blogging software means that more people can express their views. You can even e-mail in your posts to a Blogger blog now. What that means is that more people can express their views. Before it was only the real enthusiasts who would put in the effort to find a place where they could let the world know what they felt. So it was the extremists at the ends of any social scale who tended to define the discussions. Now it's much easier for those "in the middle" to just blog about something and for others "in the middle" to get in touch and get some interaction going. That all leads to much better communities developing, I believe. Right on. The Internet has certainly changed the nature of connections.
