How sad it is that fans of science fiction, most of whom claim to be critical, forward thinkers can so quickly turn on one of their heroes. One or two quotes out of context measured against a life spent thinking about and imagining scientific possibilities. If someone you respect makes a statement you disagree with may I humbly submit that you think about that statement rather than seeking immediate gratification by posting a condemnation.
I enjoy the services and instantaneous delivery of the internet. When I look up from my keyboard I still see unhappy people, a daily grind, inequality, poverty and war. Science fiction is about dreams and possibilities, the internet is just the current iteration of communication tools, it will pass into obscurity like any other technology.
Odds are Bradbury's books will be remembered long after the internet has faded to obscurity.
