Is the Internet Killing Empathy?

It obviously isn't. At least it doesn't affect me. But who gives a crap about these whiney snivelers anyway?

What is the difference between ignorance and apathy?

I don't know and I don't care.

Interesting, that the only two responses seem to reinforce the question.

It isn't necessarily the Internet that leads to voyeurism -- as long as I've been driving (almost 45 years, now) the phenomena of rubber-necking has existed. It just seems to be human nature to "freeze" in some way when confronted by crises and go into a mode of staring, rather than acting to alleviate the situation. When there are two or more observers, it isn't unlikely that everyone will expect that one of the others will act in a crisis.

I posted about something similar to this in the past.

Hmmm... I guess sarcasm is hard to hear online.
