on one hand, it feels like the internet has overblown our attention to things

on the other, it feels like it has desensitized us to outrageous things and bad news

You're a college student, right? So you've supposedly only been alive for 19 years, right?

That being the case, you have no frame of reference, right?

Yes but that's why we have parents and teachers and books and things to get testimony from and to get a better understanding (also why i made this post Lol!)
I will say though, I barely used the internet till 14-15 except for the most basic stuff. Nowadays, at least from what I see in my siblings and those of friends, through both school and culture, it dominates a lot of the life even for kids.
