Just like with violent video games, the internet doesn't make people feel disconnected, or turn them into sociopaths.

It enables people who would rather be disconnected to disconnect themselves, and gives sociopaths the ability to do far more.

The internet doesn't create people without empathy, it reveals that deep down, a lot of humanity didn't have it to begin with. The way society is starting to structure itself, though, lets that shine through more clearly.
