Wasn't part of the reason Babylon was destroyed was because it united everyone with one language & was trying to touch God.
So present time would show that the Internet is the new "Babylon" since it connects the world. Prior to the Internet, people can say they were "happier" however, it may only be because we didn't get world wide info almost instantly.
With that being said…That is kinda of a sneaky way for someone who didn't want the World to talk to each other & know what the others are doing, by destroying the Internet. Now I just confused myself again. Dang nabbit
