I would argue that internet society actually is leaking into the real world in sometimes dangerous, sometimes okay ways. Good: the gradual abolition of money as pertains to art and music. Bad: American political partisanship and the destruction of the newspapers as an (at least supposedly) balanced source of information.

A shrewd satire - and very comical. :)

Though virtue seems to be on the losing side anyway, perhaps in thirty years time the Internet will have extirpated clemency, trust, and honesty - and the brave new virtual world will make everyone suicidal.

I'd be able to quote wikipeadea in conversation and [possibly] appear a lot cleverer than I really am.
