That is a disturbing thought. I prefer to think that it is just the "optics" of how small the world as gotten in terms of our ability to communicate.
After all, Lizzy Borden and the Grimm brothers far predated radio, let alone the Internet.

I actually saw another theory that said video games actually decrease crime because the kids are hanging out for hours in their basements instead of out on the streets. And they can act on their violent impulses by game killing people over the internet in combat games.

Actually if you look at the stats, crime has been decreasing since the 1960's. It just seems like there is more crime because we get so much more video of crimes.

The de-sensitizing of the young due to the games makes for alot of reasons why young people are commiting more crimes.
Look at Columbine, and a few other teen attacks across the US. They were facinated with death and killing, they had hours of games some they changed up for their own personal use.
And the fact that parents no longer have time to spend with them.

So there's a solution for the gangs in West Denver and Montbello and sexual perverts. Give them all 360's and free subscriptions to Playboy channel.
