I was browsing through the newspaper this morning. A quick recap:
- Allergies on the rise (to food, environment...)
- Complaints about government systems that promise to be great but are a hassle in practice
- North Korea launching a missile, but most importantly the controversy that this has generated
- Somali pirates and their successful activities
- Women in Vietnam sold to men in other Asian countries to be married (against their will)
and it goes on and on...
So sure, I am posting only those that aren't too positive, from my point of view. However, I ask myself: do people in the past lived to this level of craziness? or is that we just become informed more easily?

My sense is that both. Telecommunications have made it easier to know what's happening on the other side of the world, but also, my perception is that people are loosing it more (perhaps for the same reason).
I really think that the level of craziness is going to go up and up in the coming years (for good and not so good). We shall see...
What do you think?
