Hmm, so much for sociable media. I wonder if humans are evolved enough to handle the immediacy of carelessness with which our modern technology affords us. It is a sobering thought that we as a species may not actually be ready for the Internet. Powerful interactive tools make instant information available to one another without any guarantee there's enough inner wisdom and integrity to handle it. When this happens, things start to come apart.
The running joint in a dry stone structure such as Skara Brae may eventually become a problem, perhaps after a few more 1000 years. Relationships by contrast are far more fragile. There is a serious disconnect that runs though the structure of our media-driven community that will need repairing before it's too late.
