Fwiw, this title would apply to any point in time in human history. We just have the internet now to exchange information about it with higher bandwidth and lower latency than ever. Just think about the cost of exchanging information with random individuals around the world even 30 years ago.

100 years ago you just said "Yeah, I'm sure all that's happening. So what? The world is big, I just stick to my little corner." Today we have an interconnected population of people who now recognize these things not only as problems, but as things that could/should be resolved.
