Especially the immediate internet news cycle.
It’s hard to imagine, but most of us actually grew up and lived our lives just fine without knowing what was happening in the news immediately and exactly as it happened.
I look at how folks are dealing with all of this and I’m starting to wonder if we can really handle knowing what some random dude in China thinks about some world event that happened five minutes ago, much less our friends and family. We certainly didn’t develop with these capabilities.
It seems to have a real alienating effect on some folks, and especially kids and young people.
