<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3720410, member: 26302&quot;]Ras, two points about your blog post. I agree about overall quality of uncleaned coins going down, but we knew that would happen. At some point, all fields have been searched.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, I think you are concentrating a little too much on the downsides of modern internet culture, while ignoring the upsides. Granted there are more things to do, but we are here on the internet able to learn and discuss ancient coins, something impossible without technology. I was one the earliest to be drawn in to ancient through technology, in the old Moneta-L days. I simply would not be an ancient collector without the internet. Additionally, it has never been kids who drove the future of this hobby. They may start, but then discover girls, cars, and start careers. It is 30-40 year olds, looking for a hobby, who have been the lifeblood of newcomers typically. The internet allows them to learn about this hobby, and participate here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without the internet, I think coin collecting, especially ancients, would be in far worst shape than it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
