American politics is a miraculous thing in its adoptability, particularly as to technique. Technique is always changing where has through out my life. I think anything you hear about the internet affects on any roam of society. You should immediately sort of knock of by abide 50 %, just because that millinery and redirect around the internet is so exaggerated.

You know if past just prolog, everytime there is a new communication’s technology it revolutionizes politics but it changes politics greatly but it does not write everything else off the table. And that is true of you know, print and radio and television and so on.

The internet is clearly a useful organizing tool in a way of you know, reaching targeted populations that are necessarily in the same neighborhood.

My suspicion is that we will find it that the internet is especially important in so far as it promotes face to face contact within people, between people. I still think -- I think we forgotten because so sort of media oriented. How important personal contact and group dynamics face to face still are in politics in an American life in general.

There is a tremendous tenancy for the -- for mention chattering classes to say, Oh! You know, we are a nature, a nation that atomized individuals, and no one knows their neighbors, and no one knows anybody else. We all just sit at home and access the world through television in the internet, and you know, well at least internet is not sort of one to many model like you know, that is more distributed fine.

But I think people are still out meaning and greeting each other more than that model arose for the internet. It becomes a way in sort of enabling mechanism for doing it.

It is an organizing tool, it is not the only organizing tool, it does not make all the other organizing tools and communication’s tools irrelevant but it is important to knew, you know, tool in the toolbox.
