I think it's a bit of both.
 
I think it applies more to TV than music, especially because pretty much everything I ever find on TV these days is reality carp >.>

It's difficult to judge entirely though, because for older stuff, anything that was bad simply isn't remembered. Especially for those of us listening to it years later, we are very unlikely to listen to really crap stuff because no one will recommend it.
 
For that, naturally the capability is way better, but I think things used to be built to last whereas now things are built for mass production and generally need replacing after a few years.

I mean that kids grow up with iPads and super-fast internet (well, perhaps not where The Flash lives). They have no perspective of things like cassettes and the old wind-up cameras.

The TV thing is funny though. Remember shows like Get Your Own Back and Live & Kicking?
 
I grew up on sitcoms, stuff like Thundercats when I was a kid, and Blackadder/Red Dwarf etc when I was a bit older. All things with 6 eps a series, no long running character progression or anything, just laughs. Now I mostly watch longer running shows, mostly drama I guess.

I'd forgotten about Get Your Own Back heh. Even stuff like Byker Grove I'd class as better than the average thing that's on today, and that was far from good ;)

I don't watch TV but the rare situations in which I do, it really is quite chaotic. Reality shows with stupid people etc.

I've kind of accepted it but it used to sadden me that music, TV, technology and things that haven't been mentioned have become cancerous.
