“For most of human history, people have lived in small tribes where everything they did was known by everyone they knew,” Dr. Malone said. “In some sense we’re becoming a global village. Privacy may turn out to have become an anomaly.”

We may have more statistics about each other, but I don't know if it's contributed to truly being a part of a "global tribe".
