Prunella Minge	I don't think the Internet can be blamed for this, but something is certainly making many people do stupid things on a regular basis. An amazing number of people these days, for example, walk straight out into the road without looking - it's quite bizarre. And if three people meet one person walking in the opposite direction on a narrow pavement, they just stop and, presumably, wait for the solitary person to either step out into oncoming traffic or levitate over their heads! As far as music is concerned, as JK's song about Joe Meek points out, improvisation used to be more charmingly tactile, but I guess the Internet can furnish people with its own range of stimuli. Maybe the medium isn't so much the problem as the equipment.
In The Know	Although the internet has made communication etc much easier (even for older housebound people) I do fear that it is also making us all insular. Young people rarely get out these days, and its all too easy to remain indoors, shop, surf etc, and hardly really "communicate" with anyone.
JK2006	but I really think it's a valuable study which applies very much to Music. My new younger music contacts are not making quality DEPTH sounds. www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/internet/...aking-us-stupid.html
