[WillBlake] Communication allows issues such as discrimination to be viewed from a broader perspective by a wider audience (do you agree?).
[Arlo] If you are familiar with the research (I gather you are not), you will know that along with adoption comes segmentation. The proliferation of media has not exposed more people to new ideas, the research shows the exact opposite, that the broader the options are, the more segmented people's use is. Nearly every study of Internet browsing habits done, for example, shows that people choose very narrow bands that tend to repeat a message they already agree with. What the research shows is that people today are actually exposed to LESS diversity in thought and opinion today than they were fifty years ago. [WillBlake] This greater group consciousness has an improved chance of spreading throughout a society (I may have lost you here). [Arlo] You may have lost yourself in ideas you seem to know nothing about. Again, if you actually read the research, rather than making such statments without substantiation, you'll see that media segmentation actually hinders the spread of diverse ideas, and fosters access to information that is very narrow.
