Ive believed for a while we are at the dawn of the next epoch in human history. The last great change being the Reformation in the 1500s. The combination of the printing press and religious disagreement set Europe on fire. It was the emergence of quick communication allowed by quick printing that caused european society to be at odds with one another.
Today we have the combination of the internet and computers in our pocket. Instant communication, not across a continent but the world. People are again at odds due to this, reason goes out the window and America burns. If history tells us anything its that new technology radically changes things. I think we are just beginning to see how.
