I agree.
A quake makes the news, and we react as if this doesn’t happen very often.
There are literally hundreds of earthquakes a day, round the world.
EQ activity has not increased, on average, for a very, very long time.
The internet has made it so that we can get news from around the world, and we are more ‘aware’ of Earthquakes that used to be known only locally.
This may be a safe assumption, however it by no means precludes the possibility of increased earthquake activity.
