The problem is that the internet also allows people to segregate themselves into virtual communities, and never come across opinions which differ from their own in any radical way. I'm an example of this. Is pend a few hours reading the forum each day, but seldom go further than that. The 'base' of my internet experience consists of a largely closed community of a few dozen people. It's said that the internet allows you to spend a lot of time never once encountering a foreign view. In that sense then, I think the internet insulates as much as it broadens.
