No need for Voltaire? My observations on the Internet and cultural change

Abstract

This is a document summarizing my contributions to understand how Internet technology has affected our culture, with material on academic culture and on comedy and more. It is useful for anyone interested in whether there has been improvement since Voltaire as a philosophical cultural commentator. I suspect Voltaire is considerably better!
