Question

The Internet has been remarkably effective as a medium for distributing materials cheaply and quickly and ? to a lesser extent ? fostering serious discussion and profound creatively.

Could you correct the mistakes if any?

GPY · Accepted Answer

profound creativity

The punctuation does not seem ideal. You could try putting a comma after "quickly".

Is 'to a lesser extent' intended to modify 'fostering' or 'effective'?
Ii think the latter, in which case I'd say
eg
The Internet has been remarkably effective as a medium for distributing materials cheaply and quickly, and to a lesser extent effective in fostering serious discussion and profound creatively.
