Question

Do you think that people have become desensitized because of the internet

Answer 1

Yes I do think so.

Answer 2

I think TV accomplished that long before the Internet came into existence...

Answer 3

It's possible.  We rely on the internet so much, and we use the internet for a lot of different things.  

Answer 4

I agree with CC,The media on TV and films has had alot more to do with people becomig desensitized than the internet.

Another problem is that most people feel that have no influence when it comes to dealing with sensative issues,,they see people trying and getting no-where this makes some people feel powerless,while others just seem to be completely complaicent.

Example on the news-The other day there was amarch against the building of a coal fired power station,as they were marching past a residental area,the news interviewed one of the residents for her comments on the march.

what good was the march going to do other than disturb/disrupt residents,if they were going to build the power then their was nothing she could do to stop it.

Answer 5

Maybe some people have.  Not everyone.  I don't think it's such a bad thing if they have.  What good does it do to be sensitive about everything?

Answer 6

Desensitized to what?
