No one here as far as I have seen is talking against rabbanim we are saying that sometimes they have ppl in their inner circle with their own agenda and they have the gadols trust in matters he isn't that familiar with
your comment about rav chaim not even knowing where beit shemesh was (or some other city in israel), was degrading (and stupid, as i already mentioned).
to say that none of the people advising the gedolim have agendas of their own is naive.
to say that all the people advising the gedolim are feeding them lies to further their own agendas is baseless (and probably comes from looking for an excuse to make ureself (not directed at anyone in particular) feel better about not adhering to the psakim of the gedolim).
in terms of the internet, you're arguing that he doesn't know it's practical applications for business etc etc but that's completely moot. at this point i don't believe there are any gedolim saying you're not allowed to use internet for business. everyone knows that the world today is at a point where it's debilitating not be able to use the internet for business purposes. noone needs an iphone or galaxy for business. most people can get by just fine with the internet in their house/laptop. those that can't, can get by with blackberry's. the iphone/galaxy/"ukdomeh" (lol) are gadgets, and are there, for the most part, for entertainment purposes.
arguing that the gedolim never went on the internet themselves is silly. they've been told what's on it, and what's able to be accessed by it, and that's more than enough. like i said, for the business applications noone is assuring it. for it's other applications, they should be assuring it, who are we kidding.
