Everyone on Earth doesn't need to know every single thing that's going on on the planet in real-time 24 hours a day either. 99.999 % of everything that goes on in life is none of our business.
I don't think this revolution in personal electronics is making the portion of the population that is too young to know the difference better people. It has basically made every single thing you read or see now of suspect credibility.

Running face-first into hornets while I'm mowing the 'lawn' is as bad as my life gets. That's the level of trauma and oppression we're dealing with. But that's pretty bad.
If they had youtube in the 90's, I'd have to be in like the witness protection program or something where I had to assume a new identity for my own protection. I was not specifically renown for being politically correct...or even correct.

We drank a lot and smoked pot. But that's about it. We didn't have camera phones either. Good thing. I would have been so so cancelled. My little cafe would have been burned out by an angry mob. However.....none of this....

....officials confirmed three children died from diphenhydramine overdoses."
I was taking journalism classes at the University of Michigan in the 80's and we didn't even have electric typewriters. You had to hit the keys with a GD hammer just to make a letter show up on the page.
