The author did an incredible job with this argument and it was very persuasive. He used secondary evidence for his main claim and brought up many examples of the internet bringing the world together and making a difference.

When you look at today’s headlines, it’s easy to scoff at the idea that the world is coming together, or the internet has a meaningful role to play.
I think the author is trying to make this as a main claim. Many headlines do point out how the world is coming together and people are making a difference by using the internet to like raising money for a family in need. Or to help a community.
