Einstein used to say the nuclear bomb and the computer would change the world. The nuke destroys physical reality whereas the computer destroys the principal of reality. By dragging the world into a single global village, space and time is flattened. Suddenly, everybody reasons with exactly the same ontology and the same patterned ways of thinking. The internet has become the ultimate obliterator of human difference. The trend of the internet is to flatten the world into a static cultural sludge. Wanting a confined internet is pointless, because this flattening is the inevitable result of the internet.

They will watch the same media. In fact, they do so already. There are no separate cultures anymore. No differentiated societies. We are all Western now.
