Interesting stuff and not suprising in my oppinion. I think we often forget that we live in such an information rich society that something could happen in some place in the world we never even heard of and within minutes the news can spread across the world and be viewed on TV, online video feeds, websites to any number of devices in the home. It's so easy to be overloaded with information and form the impression that the world is getting worse because your hearing of bad things so much more often. But that's not the case.
It always annoys me when I hear older generations lamenting on how bad things are now compared to the "good old days". Sure there is some truth in that in certain aspects of life, but just because you didn't hear about all these going on's as much and as frequent as you do today, doesn't mean it didn't happen at all and to the same extent, if not worse. Some perspective is needed I think.
Just my 2 cents.
