There are many more advantages than disadvantages with the Internet and or world wide web. Research time is cut by a factor of 10. Its so much easier today to get information and put it to good use compared to even 10 years ago, its laughable that anyone could say that it is more trouble then not.
Of course there are problems with keeping your information to yourself but that’s what the Internet was designed to do, To share information and make life easier and more productive for the Global Community.

1. Religion - the greatest dividing force I have ever witnessed. The biggest hurdle to peace, and probably the oldest too. An easy way to find something to hate about someone else, and a fairly irreconcialable one too, depending on the religion. While nearly every religion strives for peace, the means to attain that peace is what causes conflict. The radical factions of various religions tend to polarize the less exteme individuals forcing them to choose between peace and war.
2. Race - The second greatest dividing force, and the most apparent. Racism, at least at a small level, exists in every person no matter how color blind one hopes to be. Humans are very visual and race is an overt symbol of socially-constructed categories that humans instantly place other humans into.
3. Fossil fuels - Oil is arguably a main reason for the United States' invasion of Iraq. The burning of fossil fuels in massive amounts by the U.S., Europe, and now China threatens to destroy this planet. The repurcussions of our wanton waste are just now starting to be felt but the full force of the climate change we are affecting is impossible to predict. But we do know the road is only going to get tougher.
4. The United States government - With a President that vetoes most legislation and a Congress that is ineffective at best, one of the world's largest powers is mired in war with no end. With much of it's international influence sapped by the tragedy that is Iraq, the U.S. can do little to bring peaceful resolutions to global problems - Burma, Iran, Darfur. Controlled by big business and the lobby, the U.S. will perhaps never sign the Kyoto Protocol, which would drastically curb emissions of greenhouse gasses, nor will they take the difficult but necessary steps to impose legislation that would force the automakers to greatly increase the efficiency of cars. Renewable energy sources are beginning to take root, but the federal government could expedite the discovery and enhancement of these fuels. As one of the largest producers of waste and greenhouse gasses, the United States, and its citizens, is dangerously apathetic to its actions when it should help lead the environmental protection of this planet.
5. Water - Around the globe water resources are drying up. Now as sea levels are rising we will have water water everywhere with nary a drop to drink. Aquafirs under many major cities are drying up and clean water is too quickly sullied by atmospheric pollution and water run-off from farms and factories. After oil has run its course, the next major resource we are in danger of losing is water, and the wars to protect water rights, or even take them, will be epic.

It's too small.
Pandemics can race from one end of the village to the other end in twenty four hours.
Communication skills amongst the village families are non-existent.
The population is that of a mega city inside a village and no respite in sight.
A bunch of "village idiots" are running the place!
