Is the future more riskier than the past?

We often see and hear comments on how today is far more dangerous than yesterday, how tomorrow would be more riskier than today. People tend to make irrational judgements based on a few rational thoughts.

Yes, today's problems look larger to US than the yesteryear's problems look to US. But we aren't living the past. We are living today.

The Future is always as risky as the past was to the inhabitants of that age. You need to compare apple to apple, because the technology and environment that existed 10years ago, did not create that kind of risk. In the past, diseases were a major risk, but medical breakthroughs solved many of the problems that existed in those years.Today terrorism is a major risk, but with modern and upcoming technology, we might eliminate that risk. Tomorrow the lack of a livable environment might be a risk, however tomorrows generation might consider it a bigger risk than terrorism.Hence, every risk is subjective to that particular generation.
