Content: Against those doomsayers who warn that the Internet is harming culture, We are radically optimistic. The Internet is bringing culture closer to more people, making it more easily and quickly accessible; it is also nurturing the rise of new forms of expression for art and the spread of knowledge. Some would say, in fact, that the Internet is not just a technology, but a cultural artifact in its right. All this is not to say that the internet has been positive or that it holds no issues. On the contrary, we shouldn’t let that blind us to the negative impact the internet is having on our culture, and there is little we can do to counteract the damage the internet is inflicting on our society without acknowledging that there is a problem in the first place. There is a problem. But the benefits far outweigh the negatives. We as a people need to realize that the internet will continue to change our cultures in many ways with future advances and increasing usage. It is essential to study the effects it produces so we can learn how to limit the adverse effects and boost the benefits.
