Thirty years ago it was also believed that you could just cure gayness.

And 70 years ago woman were not allowed to vote.

It's so common that even today you hear people defending rapists because either it wasn't rape or a family member or it would be shameful to the family to have a dirty person.

While your one sided analysis might also have some merits the past was not known at all to be full of facets.

This is an achievement of modern times thanks to more global and faster communication through the internet and also denser population.

And yes it is a real problem when everyone has a smartphone and uses it constantly. The answer? Time budgeting build into our phones.
