A new NETFUTURE is out, in a departure it includes a piece from a 19 year old Argentinian who's glad that the net is corroding his culture:

How could I swap a culture that cheers intelligence, curiosity, talent, debate, humour and weirdness for a culture that enforces traditionalism, blatant media manipulation, economical profit by cheating and plain non-thinking?

And a response by a woman who grew up in India, who starts with a compelling argument but loses it about mid-way through.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
