Now the common denominator is technology.

You can find real and fake information online. Before you had to trust people that what they remember reading is correct. Who had the time to read more than one paper or more then one news show.

Pictures would cause movements. A group being fire hosed, young naked girl running away from the shooting. TV news footage of someone being run down by a tank on tv changed opinions. But we had to wait for it.

Now everyone has a video camera and can publish it for the world to see and they do if it goes viral. Every shooting seems to have been recorded. It's almost like the hunger games. It's not live but only minutes old.

This technical evolution happened so quickly we don't know quite how to react or digest what we see.

I think the smartphone and social media is the new God, omnipresent and all knowing [subject to interpretation].
