I would say that there was never this much Torah study ever!
Whether it is through Yeshivos/Kollelim or Daf Yomi Shiurim, learning Torah was never like it is nowadays. You have Artscroll Shas and Torah Tapes. Various types of Shiurim hotlines and web based teleconferences. Torah software and DVD’s, and even YWN coffee room! It is very hard to find a true Am Ha’aretz today. Almost everyone has a Torah education and enough knowledge to debate on a Sugya.
You can also add the Chesed out there. Never in history has there been so much Chesed. Just start counting the organizations and you won’t finish. And this is only public Chesed, what about the Tzedaka given in privacy?!
