It seemed to me that regional speech is in the process of disappearing, not gone but going. Forty years of radio and twenty years of television must have this impact. Communications must destroy localness, by a slow, inevitable process.
I would love to hear Steinbecks opinion of the internet and what it is doing to world culture.
We have had 100 years of radio, 80 years of television and 30 years of the internet to homogenize America and the world's culture.
I had a friend who used to joke that we were all raised by the same television. He was right.
