Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Though I don't exactly disagree with you, indenting (in nearly all forms of writing) is somewhat a thing of the past. Nowadays, seperating your paragraphs with a line break is the most common practice.
Not really. It depends on the style being used. The internet has pushed towards less indentation, but many academic papers are expected to be indented with no line breaks. MLA style, which is used by most academic institutions, is to double space the body throughout the text and indent all new paragraphs.
I would agree, however, that (due, in my opinion, to the internet) line breaks with no indentation has become the common style for casual writing. It is also (and has been) the business letter style. So you might be right when you say that it is used in the vast majority of writing, but indentation is still a widely accepted, and taught, style.
