I recently read this intriguing quote: "The advantage of modern means of communication is that they enable you to worry about things in all of the world". Most people, if not all, believe that the new technology, having created the so-called 'global village', has also made mankind a great favor. It certainly has, from certain points of view. But not all. Being able to communicate with far away places in a very short time is undeniably an advantage. But do you need to be told about all the worst happenings (big and small) that take place all over the planet - 24/7? Do you feel happier, after knowing about them? Can you do anything to help? Do you even care? Oh, I see, you just want to be "informed". Well, if this is your choice... enjoy!
