This is a longer rant, but I do feel like there's a severe downside in the longtime shift from local to mass media, where you get the best of media at the expense of the best experience. I remember Steinbeck writing in the 40s of how he remembered all the war songs from WWI, e.g. Waltzing Matilda, but that WWII hadn't yet produced the same thing. In fact, he hadn't realized radio had won.
