I wouldn't say we really 'progressed'. To me, it just seems that everything has changed, except for humans themselves. Almost everything has changed throughout history, but there is one constant: There are good people, and then there are bad people.
Every single advancement we have made has a good and bad side to it. For example, weapons, no matter how advanced or simple, can be used offensively and defensively. Its all up to the person.
The internet makes it easier to communicate and gives people access to a vast amount of information, but that goes for both people with good intentions, and bad ones. Once again, its all up to the individual as to how its used.
