That would be very sad. The increase in inderstanding between people on this 
small planet is so much due to the acceleration in communication of all kinds.

I would say that humanity's future is dependent upon their ability to facilitate 
ongoing communication acceleration, with diminishing negative impact on the 
environment. Technology will continue its evolution. Solutions will be found, 
amid hiccups and unfortunate events. And some of the progress may indeed be due 
to warfare of one kind or another.

Unless social media on small portable devices increases the accountability of 
governments.

Wake up and smell the coffee.
