Good point,

but then I would contend that instead of a "renewing" society, we're in a "devolving" society ; and how long will it be until the mobs burn down the Library of Congress (like the mobs burned down the libraries of Alexandria in antiquity and the dark ages set in).

Which is part of the reason I made a pretty interesting thread "Collapse of Industrial Society?".
