Technology and Anthropology

[Alex]

Yes, but except for the few groups that did (try to) isolate themselves they still lived most of their daily social lives within a larger community of some sort. And even if there is a self-selected sameness it was much harder to filter out "intrustions." There were also fewer filters of the world out there so for the most part everybody had to work with the same filters and then pervert them to their own ideas. No you can just go out and find the filter that fits you perfectly and never even think, just parrot.

To a large extent I think we may be swapping physical homogeneity with intellectual/emotional homogeneity.
