From now on, we need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of IT devices, and use them wisely.

The advantage is that they are efficient and economical, and that people and objects are connected as a network of points. Therefore, there is no discernable center, and no discernable inequality.

This is simultaneously a disadvantage. It is easy to join a group and drop out, without feeling any responsibility or sympathy towards other members. In the absence of a leader, it becomes unclear who is responsible. A trusting relationship cannot built, and it can soon devolve into to chaos and become irreparable.

Once we understand IT devices, we must use appropriate communication depending on the size and situation of the group.
