However I think the internet has also made people nastier in general. It makes me sick to see some of the comments people put on the internet while they hide behind their electronic veil. It is easier to stalk people (facebook, anyone?) and to ruin someone's life (identity theft, hacking).
Society wouldn't be the same without the internet, but I think we would be fine. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if infrastructure crumbled and we had to go back to small societies and self-sufficiency.
If there would be no internet,it slows down the communication,it slows down the social knowledge and slows down the economy.No internet,no bitcoin.
