You raise a question with its own answer. Why do you ask?

I think it can, absolutely. It's a part of globalization, it makes us one.
Just think, we used to be in tribes, and we would fight with tribes only 50km away. Then we made good use of the wheel and then started to band together and formed communities. We fought with neighboring communities, but then we found out how to power these wheels without the use of our own stregth, we could go farther distances and communities started to band together. We formed states. Eventually we formed countries. Since, right now, I can talk to anyone ANYWHERE I want to in the world, see them in a live feed over the internet, we are once again traveling farther distances.
Even without me caring about a village in China, the internet has ALREADY changed the world. It's changed the economy, it's changed businesses. IT's not a question of can internet change the world but how will it change the world

Definitely yes! Also, we can separate this change in positive and negative ways.

Well, take this very site for example. What are we doing here? We are exchanging ideas and information to try and build a more positive future for us all. It can be anything from meeting people, getting together and forming a foundation, or it can be as simple as having a conversation with someone which might change their views on the world for the better.
I'm actually reading this book right now called Wikinomics and it is very interesting, and it talks a bit about this. Mass collaboration can be a very powerful tool.

yes you can change view, know somone, give them ideas, but as i understand what you can't show on ground reality can't do at all. Internet is help to communicate for those who are out of reach with one another thats it. community is the place where you live together without any differences, for eg if i am in trouble can you help me ? just to give me idea or view can solve the problem or you have to be with me solve it ? if i want to help someone can i do it on internet or do i've to be there to help ? doctors also prescribe on internet but that can't cure you, you have to see the doctor for cure. practically...

The power of the internet to bridge gaps and distances from all over the world as well as to speed up processes is indeed beyond measure.

You bring up a good point. I can't help you move. I can't help you look after your children if you need to work. There are numerous things that we can not do to help each other out by not being there in person, but at the same time, there are soo many things I can do to help just over the internet.
I can help you solve a problem (in which you take action), I can send you money, I can help you pick some new clothes, even doctors can perform surgery via the internet now*! How amazing is that!

The problem other's have in general can't be solve with money? they dont have problem buying clothes, its giving rights, relationship, value of other's people, respect others, social rights, parents right, spouse rights, basic decentcy's, education, in these only education comes with money even higher education but all these and basic's come's from where ? you know chinese use to be drug adict people when someone told mao zai tung that to change their people or save them we decide to give them one fish daily' then mao zai tung told them dont give them fish teach them how to catch a fish. that will change them, you can't give begger a money to help him, if you want to help give them opportunity otherwise they die as begger.
for make an example is to be an example not on internet in ground reality, if bill clinton gives charity its not a big deal coz he have lot of money but when someone have one bread and they share half with other thats big thing. can someone do this on internet ? if money would've solved the problem its might have done someting in western world, they are still looking for wayouts of their family values, social life, husband wife relationship, childern rights and most important parents right, dont you think they have everything but these problem can't be solved by money nor by internet we have show something on groung reality, for eg. if you want to live in peace you have to show how you're living in peace ? can anyone show on internet how's peacefull life is ? what is happyness on internet ? even emotions created for expressions...
