Well cyber bullying or whatever has become a more high profile issue. And while I probably don't take it as seriously as I should, I think it's something real, and probably different from conventional bullying in many ways.

And the other thing is that we have access to information about all of the violence, violations of human rights, people starving etc - which is more a product of the expansion of all kinds of information sources not just the internet - but it does desensitize us I think. It certainly has done to me.
