Now, there are few common experiences left (Superbowl comes to mind). So we live in a country with many small subcultures, bolstered by the ability to connect with anyone anywhere on the internet. Anyone can “broadcast.”

I'll tell you the impact it's had on me. It has me seeking foreign sources of entertainment. I watch KDramas, and because I'm learning Polish, I've started listening to Polish music instead of English music. So I couldn't tell you anything about today's new actors or singers.

Me too...now I mostly watch French and Italian dramas on MHz Networks (no cable necessary, they air on subchannels of broadcast stations).

“Un Village Francais” (A French Village), set in a small French town during the German occupation of WW2, has been one of the best, most thought-provoking series I’ve seen in a long time. Many times during the recent election I would look at the political unrest going on, then think of something that happened during the series, and tell myself “things could be a whole lot worse”.
