Hi evangineer,
Yes, I do believe that Huxley's vision has proven to be more correct in 21st century America... although anything is possible. Thanks for sharing the Neil Postman link, I have not read that book, it looks fascinating.
The comic version of the argument is extremely good. Thanks for posting that as well, it was well worth the look.
Author, Evgeny Morozov poses a similar argument to Postman in the book, "Net Delusion" that came out this year. It gives an interesting analysis of the Internet in the 21st century and attempts to debunk a lot of cyber-utopian myths.
We are currently trying to get in touch with Morozov to interview him for our documentary.
