Why are you under the impression that people without Internet can't or don't communicate with each other?

This is not access to communication or information, it's access to frivolous distraction. Facebook has less bandwidth and more strings than traditional verbal and written communication.




Because when I was young we were having phones, even mobile phones, but first few years - without internet. My mobile site was one of the first mobile sites in Russia. And I know for sure: communication by phones/mail is as different from internet communication, as planet is different with atom. Coordinated networks are MUCH different than list of contacts in phone.
