I can't speak to technology but the errosion of community stems from...?

[giantg2]

It stems largely from technology eliminating the need to directly depend on each other and increasing geographic mobility that tends to disintegrate community bonds. It's also in how technology has been used to communicate, both in reducing in-person experiences and in how the mass media can influence populations. It also provides alternative entertainment compared to previous entertainment which usually included other people.
