The article is missing info on its effects on society

The article nowhere describes the Internet's effects on society during and in context of the Cold War.

e.g. how it shaped their view of the Cold War.

Nonsense

What are we to make of - 'During the Cold War there was constant fear of nuclear attack from the Soviet Union and desire to be "better" than the United States at everything.'? Presumably it was the US and its allies that feared nuclear attack, and the Soviet Union that desired to be better than the US. How about - 'During the Cold War the US and its allies constantly feared nuclear attack from the Soviet Union.' and 'During the Cold War the Soviet Union and desire to be "better" than the United States at everything.'? I'm not saying that either sentence is true (the original must have been written by a Hern), but they do make sense. 31.49.9.170 (talk) 10:37, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
