“There was a time when the personal and the collective could be kept apart. News travelled more slowly. You heard about things long after they had happened. There was time to manage our private fear. Now, with the arrival of fast and far reaching lines of communication, the event and the effect it has on us are more of a piece, so that it feels that we are part of the event itself, irrespective of where we are in the moment it occurs.”
