1. While Spender was right about the decrease in elitism

he was wrong about the requirement by government that one be connected, in theory if not in fact. That was done by users, themselves, and it was done by smart phones that are exponentially more powerful than the computers he was talking about and loaded down with social media "features" that encourage addiction to compulsive scrolling during any and all free moments.

Being connected was almost a necessity by the late 90s, early 00s, when it was the only way to do things like book the cheapest air fares if you had to travel. Phones are a necessity now since there are no more pay phones, another bit of infrastructure that has been shifted away from being supplied by corporations and onto the backs of consumers.
