Its a shame, especially since political discourse is so very essential to a healthy society - that social sites like Facebook make it even more stressful than it already can be.
I dunno, in my experience social sites like Facebook offer *opportunities for more* of the political discourse that is so essential to a healthy society.
My home-owning years have coincided with the existence of the World Wide Web, and I would say with certainty that I do more things with my hands because of this. In a pre-web world, I would just "outsource" any home-maintenance projects to professionals I suppose, since I wouldn't have the know-how to even get started. But when good online discussions, videos, step-by-step guides, etc. on home maintenance projects are a google away, I am much more confident and better equipped to tackle projects myself.
I know you were joking, but just as a point of information, it looks like DirecTV is giving away the Encore channels in an effort at compensation while the Viacom stations are dark.
This "peripheral state" idea strikes me as naive. Was, say, the Vietnam war just between North and South Vietnam? Wasn't it a war, staged in Vietnam, between bigger (nuclear) powers?
My eight year old really likes playing with Scratch and I think it introduces programming logic well. I've looked at the aforementioned Alice, too: it looks similar but more complicated - and maybe more age appropriate for your needs.
Font designers are also concerned about the uncontrolled redistribution and frightening aesthetics that will result from Safari's new ability to include fonts within the HTML.
I used to shave with just water and a hand full of soap suds (from bar soap). Since I got my recent job and see that the biker guy has a full beard and long hair, I have stopped shaving all together. It was a little gross when I had a sinus infection and started drooling in my sleep but other than that, having a beard is cool. For some reason, people give me lots of room at the supermarket and shops now. Cool!
Once people are motivated by making money rather than sharing something cool, I fear the content will quickly resort to scheming traps to build clicks.
If I want sports information from the web, I find better content and much less irritation at fan-created forums than at the bloaty pop-uppy sites like ESPN.com. I think the former is analogous to YouTube, the latter to what a money-driven sharing site would become.

You would not but some fool somewhere would.
Also, can you please point out an example of a government that is less corruptible than our own?
How about our own before Citizens United?
