If you watch the news or spend any time on twitter you'd be forgiven for thinking the world has taken a turn for the worse. And the more you look the more it seems that way. But in this world of hyper-connectivity and 24 hour broadcasting is that us just joining the dots?
There is no denying that our collective report card would read 'could do better' especially when it comes to the state of the planet; more humanity, compassion, openness, connection and less focussing on what makes us different would make the world a different place. But before we dive into a well of despair it is useful to get a different perspective that shows us that comparing the world now to the good 'old' days may not give us a helpful picture of the world - which is why this Ted Talk is an interesting take on 'better' or 'worse'.
