There have always been two places where (young) people from different classes and backgrounds mixed in a country - drafted in the army or at university. Britain was seen as a much more integrated society after 20 years of conscription petered out in the 60s.
I am struck by the number of reports on moocs that talk of online friendships - and I suspect that the open replacement for facebook will come out / be integrated into of coursera or udacity or the like.
