Does the internet give us a more enlightened perspective of the world around us?

I beileve that the internet is an amazing vessel for storing information and communicating with other people. Unfortunately with one hand it gives and with the other it takes away. We may be able to have discussions with people over the other side of the wolrd but we are distancing ourselves from the sensentions of now and the things that colour our lives because they are the very things that define us as human beings. The sun setting, the moon lapping the tides. Nature unfolding its loving arms to everyone. We are part of it and yet we compartmentalize our existance. The ability to experience something first hand instead of viewing it through a screen is what gives our lives substance. It is driven by the spirit and it is part of the spirit. We should not forget that.
