A Fax of Life

We are all uncultured. Examples

• more classic fiction was written in the 19C than there is time to read in a single lifetime
• more classic movies were produced in the 20C than ditto
• more classic blogs are written daily than ditto

Ergo the "common" culture is shrinking. And our personal cultures are fragmenting as the broadcast media (print, radio, TV) lose relevance.

There is a new provincialism abroad, based not on geography but domain: e.g. World of Warcraft has it's own dialect, as does Second Life, as does etc. etc.. (Need a new word: domainialism?)
