I'm not necessarily saying that using the internet is part of the average American's life. All I'm saying is that the internet, and particularly the affect on how information is disseminated globally, has a marked impact on on the average American's life. And, more importantly, it's having a major impact on world culture at a level that the President should be aware. Whether or not a President or the average American is using the internet, the result of any action taken by the President is shaped in part by how it is received, distributed, and perceived on the internet. The course of world-changing events has already been altered by how it's gotten exposed online. For a President to be completely cut off from that speaks to a level of ignorance of the world, in my eyes.
