I don't think people are any worse than they always have been. It's just that it's so much more widely reported nowadays. For example, when John Lennon was shot, it was a whole day before we got to hear about it in the UK - nowadays we would know within 10 minutes. To put it another way - I would not have known about those things that have happened in Cardiff, if it was not for coming on here - the internet makes things known a lot more quickly.
