I sort of agree with the whole internet thing. Probably shutting it down makes the people actually go out and do more. When you are on the the internet, you get the false impression people are actually caring about what you do. Clicking "like" on a Facebook page doesn't equal a revolution.
Look at the world we live in now, because of the internet the "truth" is masked by all the constant noise and people who want to hide the truth can spin stories as fast as they come out. Look at Wikileaks, all it did was make Julian Assange famous, it had no effect on anything else. A week passed and everyone just moved on. If those documents were published in a newspaper 30 years ago, it would have had a profound effect.
It's tough for internet fanboys to understand, but the net effect of the internet on society is probably negative at this point.
