The problem with the new-age media is that it bombards us with information and images almost as an event happens. Picture how terrifying it would have been to watch Pearl Harbor come under attack in real time. The events of 9/11 brought us perhaps closer to unfolding tragedy than we've ever been.
Last December's tsunami and the strikes by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma further underscored how in touch we have become with human suffering, witnessing victims in need of assistance even before they receive the aid. And though it's not as if we forget the tragedy and human suffering so soon after it occurs, the news is readily replaced by the situation du jour, the latest conflict, the day's top issues.
