Solution
The Internet is, obviously, one of mankind’s greatest accomplishments in this Information Age.
But this new technology not only saves time—it wastes it too. It makes life simpler, yet more
complicated; it brings us together, yet pushes us apart.
Now that is a paradox!
Internet is one of the great advances not only of our current culture, but of any culture at any
point in history. The Internet allows for better documentation of the world around us, and we are
slowly getting closer to a completely accurate documentation of history. Heffernan compares
prior historical documentation to the crackle of vinyl records: they are a representation of reality
created by humans but with a low fidelity to reality itself.
Technology, including the internet, is slowly evolving to be better at documenting what life is
like. There are 4D movies, iPhones that can create holograms, and apps to document police
encounters (such as Hands Up) or put dog ears on a selfie (Snapchat.)

Our troubles and calamities have not just doubled; they’ve multiplied—thanks to modern
technology! But our God has allowed modern communication methods to dramatically increase.
The Internet is bridging the gap that He put in place some 4,000 years ago.
Already, the minds of the people of the nations of the world have been drawn closer
together—and now, with the help of the digital information superhighway, man has turned earth
into a “global village.” With this invention he’s not only collapsed distance; he’s demolished all
inhibiting boundaries.
