The internet has huge advantages but its downside is the easy access to resources.

Just because you can make an album on a laptop computer in your back bedroom doesn't mean it's going to be any good. Like any 'product', it has to come from a good original idea. There are no shortcuts!

I still get a buzz from seeing young kids making music.

It would be difficult to do art without music (music subsidises the art).

To me, NOTHING is 'new'.

My encyclopedic knowledge of rock and roll is a millstone around my neck.

I don't feel qualified to comment on whether or not the internet has damaged collaboration and creativity. That is not my experience... my experience is that I have had access to meeting people online that I might otherwise not have met, gone on to meet them in real life and collaborated on fun projects.
