I don't really long for the 'old days' (though I did finally delete my Facebook), I just think that there's a tremendous social power in technological connectivity that I don't think we've quite harnessed properly yet. It did help bring about a revolution in Egypt, which I think speaks for its potential for positive change. But as of now, I think most are still stuck in cynicism.
I'm actually just old enough to remember that idyllic time before the internet. I think kids born in the new millennium (who've nearly hit puberty, which is an odd thought) will have an interesting perspective on the matter as well.
