How do you think modern technology (TV, computers, the internet) makes you think differently about this kind of event than people who lived a hundred years ago did?

Confused on your question.
How does modern tech make me think differently about "What" kind of event?
If you are referring to general perspective of current events and news, I believe that people feel more personal affect to successes and tradgedies that happen half way around the world. Picture and voices from anywhere on earth can be transmitted live to an audience with such moder technology "ears".
However, the messenger is also better able to shape people's perspective of events through slanted biased cherry-picked voices and pictures in TV and radio. These industries have gone through a recent period of consolidation. "He that controls the messenger will control the message". Luckily, anyone can build a website and have a world audience. Through the internet all free people can share their message with the world.
100 years ago.... people's perspectives were shaped by books, people in their community and newspapers. I believe that biases were more readily recognized and people could more easily navigate their way to the truth. Surely information traveled slower and less of a distance, but people lived in a village, not a global civilization like today. By that, I imply that for one living in Los Angeles had little concern with the news from London or Paris.
Are these the type of events you are referring?
