[Air-l] : suggestions?

[黄佩]

Hi,Ess

I don't read much about Grover or Sunstein, but my thinking is that 
what can not be communicated through mediated experiences? Can,say 
Internet,come to a consesus for us? Does that partly explain even 
media develop so fast today we still have gaps between cultures and 
countries?
