The Reclusive Society

I agree with Mr. Sunstein's assessment in chapter three that society can become reclusive and walled off by the Internet. What I find interesting is this idea that many of us were told in the early years of the Internet - don't trust it. Now everyone takes what they find on the Internet as solid fact but in reality I don't think much has changed. Sure there are more sources and people are more dependent on the Internet but there are still people out there engaging in National Enquirer activities. Furthermore, I think that the idea that people can wall themselves off and only use the Internet to live is stupid. There is obviously something going on to drive that person to withdrawal from society. And what happens if the Internet goes down? Do these people have panic attacks and major anxiety issues? We live in an era where it is not uncommon for the Internet to be down and yet more and more of our daily lives use the Internet. Like Mr. Sunstein I wonder if this is the best thing for our society. I think more caution is needed. My link shows what NE like places on the net can do for a person - panic!http://www.cultofmac.com/shock-national-enquirer-wrong-about-steve-jobs-death/89206
