"What kind of threat does a mass movement exert on authority if the movement is entirely online?"
Well, though I agree wit ha lot of what you said, especially about flame wars & what not, here I feel obligated to point out that the deomonstrations that brought Chavez back to power in April 2002 were organized on message boards and cell phone calling trees. This is simply the next level of communication technology, replacing, to a certain degree, the paper forms of yester year.
But yes! We must realize that computers and phones are not the be all and end all of our society. I think they add greatly to our acceptance of aleination.
