Back before large cities the average person would only know those in their village, they wouldn't know who hundreds or thousands of strangers are from other regions other than maybe through reading writings of authors or something like that. With modern technology many people have a feeling that they "know" various celebrities more in the way they know a friend. By this I mean that they obviously realize they aren't actually friends with the celebrity but in their head they think of them more as a full person rather than having strictly defined boundaries and understanding that what they see on the screen doesn't necessarily translate to a real person. It's hard to explain what I mean exactly I guess but basically this leads to people being influenced by celebrities and media personalities in ways that aren't healthy. For example in a village you knew everyone and had a good idea how they live their lives. With celebrities a person may feel they know them and how they live but in reality that celebrity may be a total degenerate in their personal life. This leads to some otherwise regular well meaning people picking up traits of extreme psychopathic narcissists and I think this is part of what is poisoning our society.

It happens with technology the bane of humanity. Every technological age causes it to become worse. No not everybody sees it. Some find changes to become better. There are winners and losers. Although undoubtedly freedoms erode and mankind becomes more enslaved. It loses humanity. Often with social justice it is always for somebody else. Human rights arent always individual rights, who asked the citizens, they are simply exploited into more dystopia. The minority becomes the majority. The clowns run the asylum. No sooner has a supercomputer gained complete control.
We have had a brief renaissance with computers and the internet and mass transit. The last 70 years after WW2. Numbers gained rapidly empowering greater numbers. Until those numbers are no longer needed for their wealth. They have no sooner become a threat. The wealth divide is at its highest in history. Where any advancement no longer has the resources to rapidly change systems without causing a population to implode.
Cycles age quick as time speeds up rapidly with advancing technology. But where our future is headed is much worse. Humanity peaked in the late 80s, 90s. It has been heading on rollercoaster somewhere much darker. Heralding the next age of advancement and its dystopia.
In answer to your synopsis. Look at what TV has done. Faster computers. Smartphones. The box has trapped you inside it. No sooner are you irrelevant.
TV replaced communities and has become the leading cause of loneliness and dementia. Prior to TV. What did people do. They didn't stare at a box. They were far more active in their communities. Until today the same box computer smart phone has robbed them of their health and sooner taken away their rights.
Every single advancing industrial technological revolution caused some of the darkest periods in human history before ever finding a sense of balance. How is it any different now.

What corrupts all creation? Motion. ALL existence is within motion, which is why each ONE within needs to adhere to the rules of motion to sustain ONEself within ALL. We ignore motion, which is why we believe in the created; instead of adhering to the need of creating, which allows others to get us attached to creation so that motion can corrupt and destroy us alongside it.
Notice that technology is not what we need, but what we want...we consent by free will of choice to offered technology, because we want it, which represents us falling for the temptation of motion luring us towards death. Meanwhile we ignore adaptation to ever changing circumstances within motion to sustain ourselves within motion.
This selfish ignorance inspired others to parasitically exploit it by offering us what we want in exchange for ignorance of what we need, which in return allows them to control the fiction we believe in, while we ignore reality for it.
Notice also that all they offer is about reaching something (which is why you want it, since it's so tempting to get what you don't have). Now consider this; between inception and death, with motion moving life in between from a beginning towards an end...why do we seek goals forward instead of maintaining that which is running out? Why are we focusing on death (want), when life demands struggle to uphold (need)?
How much does it take for the selfish to question his own beliefs? It's this utter ignorance of reality that is inspiring the parasites to ruthlessly go all out against mankind, because mankind wants to destroy itself so fucking hard it's insane.
Within reality this is about the suggestion of the worth of others to trick one to consent to ignore oneself. Within fiction this is about utilizing the cult of personality to get one to consent to the contract of belief by believing in the idol offered, which eventually corrupts the believer to act in the name of the idol towards all others.
They offered porn; the majority consented, and their wants defined "teen" as the main category. Nowadays this corrupted the believer of porn to become to preacher of porn, which is why now "amateur" aka homemade pornography became the main category. They offered Hollywood stars, now social media idolizes everyone to each other.
Idolatry creates a selfish hierarchy (a chain of command; a self sustaining pyramid scheme of self destructive behavior), within which the participants exploit each other.
For example in a village you knew everyone
Adherence to self sustenance creates unity with others who also adhere to self. ONE emits his own ecosystem outwards. Sustaining self creates the need to procreate with others, which then creates shared responsibility over the creation (offspring) within a family unit, which creates the need for a habitat surrounded by those who also adhere to self sustenance.
The only number that matters is ONE; ONEself, because ALL is ONE in energy. The differences we perceive between each ONE represent inspiration needed to get each of us to adhere to self sustenance. We are only segregated into individual ONE potential, because that's how ALL potentiality sustains itself within motion.
Nature segregates differences to inspire senses to sustain self, and inspiration can only come from the perception of differences. If ALL would be the same; what would inspire it to create? Segregation is needed for inspiration, which is why miscegenation is wielded against segregation to corrupt access to inspiration.
Crucially, back then if you knew someone they most likely knew you as well and you could actually interact with them. Today, people worship celebrities who don’t even know that they exist. It’s created this one-way sense of familiarity that’s extremely damaging to the social fabric.
There are adults walking around that can't remember a world without social media.
