Our reality is 24 hr news media.
Before the Internet, we'd have not been aware of half of the things that you point to today. And most might have been a tiny paragraph in the Daily Mirror (other papers existed than)
When I meet people who don't have computers, smart phones or even TVs or rely on radio local or national (The Light Program - whatever happend to that?) for their news, but who are alive to what is happening in their own patch, I realise how we have all been sucked into the great plan for us to be consumers.
Perhaps I should drop out entirely and become a "Beatnik" or "sofa surfer" as that seems to be the place where the only thing that is important is where will the next meal come from.
My spouse might have something to say about that, but fortunately, she doesn't do social media or TV news, just reads a newspaper occasionally to keep up with the Royal Family. She knows about Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor, but doesn't subscribe to Royal Adoration, its more about loyalty and an oath of allegience she took when she joined the Army, all of those years ago, and as we still have the same Queen now as than, all is well with the world.
