"I just don't care about popular culture. It looks to me pointless and superficial. If I had free time I'd rather read a 19th century novel."

The big change, the really radical change in communication, was in the late 19th century. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph is astronomical. Everything since then has been small increments, including the internet. So you don't have to wait for a letter to get to England in six weeks, you have almost instant communication. That was an enormous shift.
