Is Social Media Revolution Effecting the WHOLE World?

All the information provided in the “Social Media Revolution” presentation is about the individuals residing in developed countries, where the Internet is easily accessible to all classes of people. The information given in the video is not familiarizing us with the world statistics, it is only about the population in the developing and the underdeveloped nations. Half of the world is still on the developing stages, and Internet use is not as prevalent. There are still places in Africa, Afghanistan and South Africa where there is not even access to clean drinking water, what to say of computer and Internet access, this would be the case in underdeveloped nations. In the developing ones, such as the countries were basic life amenities are present but it is still not at a position to provide all basic resources to all the citizens, in those countries Internet is mainly consumed by middle class and higher class people. Point being that for half of the world Internet is still not a part of their everyday lives. The question that emerges at this point is that the anticipated effects of the meticulous web usage, how would that affect the interactions and the standard of living between the people in the different parts of the world?

Right when Industrial Revolution took place in Britain, that was the moment when it created a large gap between the Britishers and people in the other parts of the world who still used the methods for generation of good that were obsolete in Britain. The Industrial Revolution played a significant role in changing the everyday routine of people in the countries where it took place and bringing up their standard from the rest of the world. The Industrial Revolution also created a deep gap between the nations, which is still taking its time to get filled. The issue that arises here is, would increasing Social Media Revolution, taking place in developed countries and partially in developing ones, would create an all pervading gap between the web wired nations and the unwired ones and possibly how could different lifestyles of people affect the world itself?

As the digital natives generation are debated of being adroit at multi-tasking and switching tasks, some theorists come to the conclusions that having those web idiosyncrasies would make the current and coming generations terrible at analytical reasoning, staying on singular task and having short-term attention spans. But wait this only apply to the youngsters in developing nations. What about the people living in the developing and under-developed nations, where the web is not embedded into the youngsters everyday lives and they have no such habits? The youngsters in developed countries as criticized by Mark Bauerlein, in this book The Dumbest Generation, for the dis-affects of web usages. But the title 'The Dumbest Generation' only applies to the youth in the developing nation according to the statistics provided in the book. More than half of the world, not being able to access the Internet is still untouched of its dis-affects. So, does that conclude that the youth today that has either a little or no access to the Internet would be better off in future mentally (until they get exposed to Internet 24/7)?
