Would emerson have been happy with the new technology, pop culture and social media progress or would he have seen it as a loss for humanity?

         In the context of today's technology, pop culture, and social media, in my opinion, yes, I do believe that Emerson would have been happy with the progress of his ideas about self-reliance. I think this because many people, after Emerson had begun publishing his poems and philosophical ideas, began to become more self-aware and develop their own sense of individuality. Even with humanity's self-preservation instincts, the ideas of self-reliance are seen much more prominently in today's society as compared to the time before Emerson had expressed his ideas on the topic. As a result, this is why I believe Emerson would be happy with the progress that was made over the years.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
