Summary
Our connectivity is here to stay. Our phones, computers, and tablets will remain until replaced by the communication tools of the future. We are unlikely to return to an era of limited connectivity. And neither should we. When considering the good, the bad, and the ugly of connectivity, the good stands out. Learning about the misfortunes of others, whether across the globe or even in our own city. Connecting to help ourselves, friends, and strangers. We will never know, but would definitely hope, that an Internet in 1939 would have prevented the horrors of the Holocaust that followed.
