No it is not. People are still the same, and nothing much changed in humans since we left the trees for huts and and cows and cereals. Radio was promised to change the world, then cinema, then TV, then internet. All of them did, and none did. People are still the same, only with technology, and saying "you will never get it" does not make your misdirected enthusiasm close to the truth. Yes, internet changed a lot. No, it's still the same old world.
I never said anything about changing the world, only people. Forget the word "religion" in my original post, it was only an example; what I'm alluding to is the set of fundamental assumptions, intuitions, and instincts that affect our perception of and reasoning about the world on an unconscious level; the thought processes that occur before we're consciously aware of them (as demonstrated by fMRI).
As one example, study of color perception has shown that children have to shift color processing from the right to the left hemisphere of the brain as they are educated, and that language has an influence on the shades of colors we are able to distinguish with ease. I'm suggesting that there is a similar fundamental process at work in the brains of people who use computers and the Internet from a young age that makes lifelong users think and feel differently about the Internet in a way that very few older users will understand or experience. It is difficult to imagine that most older lawmakers who lack this understanding will make effective, future-proof decisions about the Internet.
