global village and self sustainability

i read an statement in the profile of vijay kannnur. it read

(Vijay Kannur) is connected to the world at my home as my village is connected to world wide web,but self sustainability of village has faded..no more

very pertinent statement! in the name of connectivity we havae become dependent. and in this process we have lost our in dependence. for every thing we look at the government agency to respond to our need. poor government look at richer countries to respond. what is happening to the self sustainability of the social unit called village. what happened to the contentment among people. everytime we want to take rest an advertisement is shown which make us believe that we are lacking something which is must, and we loose our sleep for getting that. the mage is made in such away that to get that object you have to give up something which you cherish very much and become dependent on the provider.
